January is National Radon Action Month

To request a free radon test kit, contact the Kentucky Radon Program at (502) 564-4856.

By Wynona S. Padgett, Regional Cancer Control Specialist I
Lake Cumberland Kentucky Cancer Program

Lexington, KY -- January is National Radon Action Month, a time to raise awareness of the health effects of radon and take action to lower your risk. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the ground and into homes, schools, worksites, and other indoor spaces through cracks in the foundation or basement or around pipes. It is colorless, tasteless and odorless and can cause lung cancer; you would have no way of knowing if it has infiltrated your home unless you test for it. Yet, few people test for the radioactive gas.

Kentucky leads the nation in the number of new cases and deaths from lung cancer. Though the use of tobacco contributes to the majority of lung cancer cases, radon exposure is the second leading cause, accounting for 10 to 15 percent of lung cancer cases. Breathing radon is a known cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. However, people exposed to both radon and tobacco smoke are 10 times more likely to develop lung cancer. In fact, the lifetime risk of radon-induced lung cancer is 62 per 1,000 ever smokers compared to 7 per 1,000 people who have never smoked.

Phillip Coffey: Warmly Given

WARMLY GIVEN
by Phillip Coffey
To be my friend there will never be any special, hidden agenda.
You need not inform me if the Stock Market be "Bear" or 'Bullish'.
Riches to behold, leading to my bank account being greatly replenished
Polyglot in thoughts expressing or simpleton totally monosyllabic.

Always treasured those highly honest, humble and of good character.
Never transgressions against children or elderly with immoral addictions.
Broken English is fine, translator or 'wash up' your vulgar expletives.
End of our days, all is left far behind - except for whatever is warmly given.
