Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes and pose a lung cancer risk. It enters homes through cracks in foundations and walls. Testing homes with a radon kit is recommended, with levels above 200 Bq/m3 posing a health risk. Reducing radon involves sealing cracks and installing ventilation systems. Testing and mitigation services are available from certified radon professionals.
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas found naturally in soil and rock that can enter homes through cracks and seams in the foundation. Prolonged exposure to radon increases the risk of lung cancer, with 10% of lung cancers worldwide due to radon exposure. Health Canada provides information to test radon levels in homes and recommends taking action if levels are above 200 Bq/m3, the new safety guideline lowered from the previous level of 800 Bq/m3. Simple measures like improving basement ventilation or sealing cracks may reduce radon levels in some homes.

Radon gas occurs naturally in the environment and is present in outdoor and
indoor air throughout the world. Radium, which is the source of radon gas, is a
natural and minor constituent of many common building materials such as
concrete, brick, gypsum, and natural stone. Granite and other stones that are a
popular choice for countertops and other decorative features in homes have been
evaluated extensively. Over 500 measurements of radon emissions from granite
have been published in the peer reviewed scientific literature. This information
provides a reasonable basis for preliminary estimates of typical and upper bound
levels of radon in indoor air of homes associated with emissions from natural
stone countertops.
The average and maximum radon concentrations estimated from these data to
result from emissions by natural stone are low in comparison to relevant
benchmarks of radon exposure. The radon concentration estimated as a result of
average radon emissions from natural stone reported in the scientific literature is
approximately:
f 300 times lower than (or 0.3% of) levels of radon in outdoor air,
f 1,000 times below (or 0.001% of) the average concentration of radon found in
the air of U.S. homes, and
f 3,000 times less than (or 0.00004% of) the action level for indoor air
recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

Healthy Homes: Radon
1. Healthy Homes - Radon
What is radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in rocks and
soils. Radon gas is tasteless, colorless and odorless. The only way to know if it is in your home is to
test for it.
Is radon a problem in Tennessee?
Yes. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) considers radon to be a
very serious problem in our state. No matter where you live in Tennessee, there is the potential for
radon to enter your home. Regardless of your zone designation or geographic location, all homes
should be tested for radon. There is no zone that has no risk factor for radon.
Click on the map to view radon test results across Tennessee. The data displayed is not to be used
as a measure of predicting whether an untested home does or does not have radon. The Tennessee
Department of Health and the Tennessee Radon Program support the standing of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency that every home should be tested in order to know that home's
radon level. In zip codes with few radon results, there is low confidence that the reported average is
representative of radon levels in that area. This map is only for informational purposes. All test
results are from do-it-yourself tests done by home owners or tests done by radon measurement
professionals. The Tennessee Department of Health and the Tennessee Radon Program are unable
to verify the validity of the testing protocols or the physical location where the test kit was reported
to have been conducted.
What are the health effects of radon?
Radon gas has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette
smoking. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. About 2,900 of
these deaths occur among people who have never smoked.
2. As radon gas breaks down, it emits high-energy alpha particles. These particles are in the air we
breathe, and once inhaled, they can be deposited in our lungs. The energy associated with these
particles can alter cell DNA, thus increasing the risk of lung cancer. Persons who smoke and live in
a home with elevated radon levels are at a very high risk to develop lung cancer.
Fortunately, radon does not generally present a health risk outdoors because it is diluted in the open
air. Radon can, however, build up to dangerous levels inside a house, any
other buildings, or caves.
How does radon enter my home?
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the soil. Most homes and
buildings are constructed atop the soil on a property. Air pressure inside
your home is usually lower than pressure in the soil beneath and around
your home's foundation. Because of this difference in air pressure, your house acts like a vacuum,
drawing radon in through foundation cracks and other openings. Radon may also be present in well
water and can be released into the air in your home when water is used for showering and other
household uses. In most cases, radon entering the home through water is a small risk compared with
radon entering your home from the soil.
How much radon is dangerous to my health?
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air or pCi/L. The average concentration of radon in
outdoor air is 0.4 pCi/L. The average radon concentration in the indoor air of America’s homes is
about 1.3 pCi/L The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established 4 pCi/L as an
action level in which one should initiate measures to reduce the amount of radon in a home.
However, there is no safe level of radon. The EPA recommends that if the radon level detected in a
home is between 2 and 4 pCi/L, steps should be taken to reduce it to below 2 pCi/L.
How can I test for radon in my home?
Testing for radon in your home is very easy to do. Test your home for radon! There are no
exceptions! Every home in Tennessee should be tested especially when you consider the fact that
radon related lung cancer kills approximately 21,000 people each year.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) operates a statewide
indoor Radon Program as part of the Office of Sustainable Practices. They offer a number of
services and assistance such as test kits for homeowners, technical information for universities, and
3. specific materials for targeted audiences such as real estate professionals, home builders, building
codes officials, home inspectors, and school officials.
I testedmy home and the radon level was over 4pCi/L, what can I do?
If the results of your radon test exceeded 4 pCi/L, TDEC and EPA recommend that a follow-up test
be conducted. If the follow-up test results (or the average of the two tests) also exceed 4 pCi/L, it is
recommended that your home should be fixed to reduce the radon levels.
How do I get my home fixed and who can do that type of work?
There are several ways to reduce or remove radon from a home. Generally, how your home was
constructed will dictate the mitigation method which will be appropriate.
In some cases, a homeowner can research the type of radon mitigation systems available, purchase
the necessary materials, and install an appropriate mitigation system themselves. However, in many
cases, professional help will be needed to install a radon mitigation system.
Commercial companies can be hired to install a radon mitigation system. There are many types of
radon mitigation systems. Some examples are discussed in EPA’s Consumer Guide to Radon
Reduction. Commercial companies that do radon work are not regulated by the state.
Two groups who train radon professionals are the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) and
the National Radon Safety Board(NRSB). Using these two external websites, you can locate a
trained radon professional to measure or mitigate radon.
Be sure to check the type of certification the mitigator holds to ensure the company or person is
appropriately credentialed to perform the job. It is advisable to check companies with your local
Better Business Bureau (BBB) to better ensure they are reputable. Due to the potential expense
involved in the installation of a mitigation system, it is also recommended that the homeowner
obtain bids from several companies.
After a home radon mitigation system has been installed, follow-up radon testing should be
conducted to ensure the system is working properly.
Radon-resistant new construction
Building a New Home? Consider radon-resistant new construction. New homes can be built to
resist radon entry. The additional cost at the time of construction is minimal. When installed
properly, the basic radon-resistant new construction techniques greatly reduce the lung cancer
risk that may occur from radon in the home. When it comes time to sell your home, radon-resistant
4. features can be an important selling point for health-conscious home-buyers. For additional
information on radon-resistant new construction read EPA’s publication Building Radon Out.
Testing soil prior to building cannot predict what the radon levels will be once a home is completed.
It is cheaper to install a radon reduction system during construction than to go back and fix a radon
problem later. Installing radon-resistant features during construction typically costs about $350 to
$500. In contrast, retrofitting an existing home can cost between $800 and $2,500. It is much
easier and far less costly to prepare the subgrade and install pipe to improve soil gas flow before a
foundation slab is cast.
A basic (passive) system can effectively reduce radon levels by 50%. Radon-resistant new
construction incorporates techniques to seal soil gas entry points, prevent radon gas intrusion, and
vent the radon outdoors. The techniques and materials needed to install a system are commonly
used in construction. The features can also decrease moisture entering the home, reducing the risk
for mold and other indoor air problems. If these features are already in the plans as a means of
moisture control or energy efficiency, then the actual cost may be as low as $100 or less. Homes
with a passive system can be upgraded to an active system with the installation of an in-line fan that
can further reduce radon levels. After occupancy, all homes should be tested for radon, even those
built with radon-resistant features.
