Radon In the St. Louis MetroEast


"Radon gas is the most damaging of all the ionizing radiations to the human body and if inhaled over time or in large quantities, it is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Because of the dangerous nature of radon gas, I trusted AHIS to survey my new home." – Dottie Bowers, Prof. of Radiologic Technology.A recent study found that 42% of the homes tested in Illinois have elevated radon levels. The Missouri State Radon office states that approximatly 1/3 of all homes in the St. Louis Metro area are at risk of dangerous radon levels. Radon is no joke and may be in any house, old or new, with or without basements.
