Radon

Radon is considered to be the second leading cause of lung cancer and has been found in many Wisconsin homes. In fact, radon was found in 20% of a random sample of Dane County homes in 1994. Other than lung cancer, there are no other known health effects from exposure to radon.

The only way to know if you are exposed to radon in your home is to test.

Carbon Monoxide or Other Combustion Products

 

Burning natural gas, fuel oil, wood, and other fuels generate carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and various other air pollutants. Carbon monoxide causes headache, nausea, and drowsiness. It is lethal when a person is exposed to high levels. Nitrogen dioxide will irritate the lungs and air passages, which may make existing respiratory illnesses (asthma, allergy, etc.) worse. Depending on the fuel burned, any other pollutants may be produced that have a wide range of health effects. To protect you and your family:

·                     Ensure that all combustion appliances (stove, furnace, water heater, fireplace grills, etc.) are vented to the outside and operating properly. Furnaces should be inspected once a year to make sure they are working properly. Contact your utility provider or a heating contractor for service.

·                     Install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

·                     Do not operate your car or ay other gas-powered equipment within a garage or other enclosed space.

·                     Never use invented combustion appliances indoors.

If you or a family member is experiencing carbon monoxide symptoms, leave the home and call 911 for assistance from your local Fire Department or contact your utility provider.

Dust, Mold & Biological Contaminants

 

Dust, mold, and other biological contaminants are present in most homes and, in many cases, are not at present a health hazard. However, depending on the types of dust or mold and the health status of the individuals in the home, these items can cause significant health concerns. Asthma and allergy sufferers may experience allergic symptoms or asthma attacks when exposed to animal dander, specific mold spores, or many other pollutants. Even persons without pre-existing medical conditions may experience eyes, nose or throat irritation when exposed to high levels of dust, mold, or other contaminants.

To reduce your family’s cancer risks from this pollutant, prohibit smoking in your home or car. When possible, choose smoke-free establishments when eating out. Toronto is working hard to increase the number of smoke-free locations in the City.

Household Chemicals (cleaners, disinfectants, pesticides)

 

Household cleaners and solvents can be an insidious source of indoor air quality. Depending on the chemical involved, a wide range of health effects may occur from improper use, over use or storage of these chemicals. To protect your family:
