EPA Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction
What else can I do to lower risk?
If you have to wait a while before you can reduce your radon problem, the EPA recommends these immediate steps to reduce risk:
- Stop smoking and discourage smoking in your home. This reduces an overall risk of lung cancer and/or risk from radon exposure.
- Spend less time in areas where radon may be concentrated, such as the basement.
- Open windows and turn on fans to increase air flow. Good ventilation helps radon disperse naturally.
- If your home has a crawl space, make sure the vents are fully open all year long.
- Remember: These steps are not a substitute for mitigation. If your home needs mitigation, these steps will help until you can have it done.
