What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You

Here are the facts. Radon causes lung cancer and it kills people, period. It is a Class A Carcinogen. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non smokers and second only to smoking in overall cause of lung cancers. 1 in 5 Missouri homes has elevated radon levels above the EPA action level. If you smoke and are livng with elevated radon levels you are at much higher risk. Lung Cancer risk from Radon increases with both higher levels and longer exposure time. Radon is not like Carbon Monoxide poisoning. There are no symptoms of elevated Radon levels. Death or sickness is not instant from elevated radon levels, rather it is the release of Alpha Radiation from Radon, that over time can cause lung cancer. Radon kills an estimated 50-100 people everyday in the United States. These are preventable lung cancer deaths, brought on by continued exposure to elevated Radon Gas levels in the home. Please don’t fall into the “It will never happen to me” category. All radon levels can be reduced to acceptable levels with simple and well established venting techniques, and no, it’s not very expensive to mitigate if you find that your home has high radon levels. What if your home has 3 or 4 times the EPA’s action level….What if….There is no need to wonder, what if. Testing your home is the only way to know for sure and Radon Testing Kits are free. Missouri Department of Radon provides free test kits to Missouri Residents. Please visit Saintlouisradon.com for more information. Or call 314-226-5098

Many people are tightening their budgets by eating in and entertaining at home. As consumers spend more time at home, here are some trends we can expect to see:
* An increase in quality- the days of disposable products are gone. Today’s consumers are looking for quality and durability.
* Softer looks for the kitchen-the modern, professional kitchen transforms into a second living room, a place where family and friends can gather not only for meals, but also as a place to socialize and spend leisure time. Expect appliances to look more neutral and be easily camouflaged.
* Economic environmentalism- consumers want products that are eco-friendly with a competitive price tag. Water and air purifiers will likely be found in an increasing number of homes.
