What is radon?
Indoor Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the leading cause among non-smokers. Protect your family. Test your home. During the month of January, EPA works to raise the public's awareness about radon and the importance of testing for radon -- especially in homes and schools. The EPA, working in concert with Federal, State, and local governments as well as volunteer organizations, conducts many different programs to educate Americans about the indoor radon health threat. About 1 in 15 homes has high radon levels. If you haven't tested your home, do it now during National Radon Action Month. If you have further questions about Radon, please call your state radon contact (just click on your state), or call the National Radon Information Line at: 1-800-SOS-RADON [1-800-767-7236]
Radon gas in my home! whats the risk?
Well, yes. Radon is radioactive and emits alpha particles. The radon that gets into your lungs can emit alpha particles. Since alphas have a limited range in air (about 2.5cm) and an even shorter range in tissue, then 100 percent of all the alphas will be absorbed by lung tissue. There can be three outcomes of the interaction of an alpha particle with lung tissue: (1) Nothing. No damage to the cell occurs. (2) The cell can be damaged and die (3) the cell can be damaged and mutate, or worse. Therefore you could be at a slightly higher risk of lung cancer. ======== Follow up ========= Radon, like any gas, will always diffuse to fill the volume where it is located. There won't be any kind of "leveling effect" where the radon is closer to the floor based only on its weight. You might find a greater concentration at the floor if that is where it entering your basement. The most stable isotope of radon is Rn-222 and it has a half-life of 3.8 days, but that has nothing to do with your health. If there is a continuous inflow of radon, then its half-life will be of little consequence. You will always have some radon in your basement. If you have a radon issue, it won't suddenly appear and then disappear. If you were to have any health issues, it will take a long time for it to appear and then there is no way to say if it was caused by radon on second-hand smoke or some other cause, like a stray cosmic ray. These continuous, electronic monitoring devices don't actually measure the presence of radon gas, they measure the level of radioactivity in the air, which may be proportional to radon or can come from other sources include background radiation (from outer space). They key thing will be to contact a reputable radon mitigation service and take steps to reduce the level of radon in your basement.
How much can one expect to earn from Bitcoin mining, using an AMD RX 580 (8GB)?
If you began mining for instance and joined antpool for mining .the GPU which you are opting gives24 MH/s on stock frequencies and 29 MH/s when overclocked, with a power consumption of 136 W and 153 W, respectively.I have calculated this by considering cost of electricity to be 0.15$ per unit and pool commission fees (antpool)2.5%.check the pics and see the profit.Shocked!!!Buy asic miner to earn from mining .you can also go with ethereum.
Is there a cure for lung cancer?
People often ask if lung cancer can be cured or not? The answer can be quite complex, to make it simple, there are a few instances where people suffering from lung cancer have been cured to some extent by the advanced medical techniques provided by a few specialized hospitals, as the treatment of lung cancer is very complex and not all hospitals have the techniques and technology to provide its treatment, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute is one of the few hospitals that uses advanced and modern techniques to provide a lung cancer treatment. A regular full body health check-up can sometimes be life-saving. If someone is in the initial stage of lung cancer, there are chances that the person can be cured or can have a longer life. However, a later discovered lung cancer can be very risky and life-threatening, and the chances of curing it can severely drop.
