SWAT Radon Reduction - Radon Gas Issues During the Winter Months - Is Yo...











Winter brings families closer as
they spend more time indoors together, but that indoor time can lead to a
significant increase in dangerous radon gas exposure. Testing your home
for radon gas during the winter is an important part of keeping your
family safe. The lack of airflow and increased time indoors that many
families experience all winter long can greatly increase the levels and
exposure time to radon gas, creating a danger in homes all over the
world.

Why Is Radon More Dangerous In the Winter?

• Homes
Are Sealed - Radon levels go up in the winter because people close up
their homes to keep out the cold. When your windows are closed and
sealed for winter and air stops moving in and out of your home on a
regular basis, radon gas has a chance to build up with no way to escape.
This sealing makes winter the most dangerous time of the year when
you're worried about what may be leaking into your home. Carbon monoxide
deaths go up during the winter, and silent radon exposure that can lead
to lung cancer goes up right alongside it.

• People Stay Indoors
- Winter months bring inclement weather in with them, leaving your
family stuck indoors when they would otherwise be out. When you stay in
your home for the winter, you increase the exposure time you and your
family have around anything in the air inside your home. Radon gas
buildup is higher in the winter, and you and your family are spending
more time in the house breathing it.

How Does Radon Get In During the Winter?


Cracks - Homeowners often have small cracks in the floor and walls of
their home that end up being vulnerable to the elements. Radon present
in the dirt around and under your home can leech in through cracks and
joints throughout the house. While this radon would simply disappear
into the atmosphere outdoors, it builds up in the air inside your home
when windows are closed and areas are weatherproofed for winter.


Gaps And Cavities - The gaps under your floor and in the walls can be a
simple vector for radon gas looking for a way into your home. Radon
built up in the dirt around and under your house can seep in through the
external openings and cracks in your siding, getting caught in the
insulating gaps between your home's exterior and interior. This gas will
slowly leak into the living areas of your home, exposing you and your
family to danger. The sealed atmosphere of most homes during winter
makes it easier for radon gas to seep in and get stuck.


Concrete Foundation -- Concrete is a porous material, and radon gas can
pass through the concrete foundation because of this. The radon gas is
small enough to pass through even the smallest of voids and openings,
even small enough that they may not be visible without magnifying
equipment.

What Can You Do?

The first step toward dealing
with a winter radon exposure problem is getting your home tested for the
presence of the hazardous gas. SWAT Radon Reduction offers radon
testing options that can help make sure your family is protected from
the long term cancer risks associated with radon gas. If you find out
that your home's winter radon risk is higher than it should be, SWAT
Radon Reduction can help you lower radon levels significantly at a
reasonable price in order to keep your family safe. Call SWAT Radon

电脑辐射的四大危害

使用电脑的你要注意电脑辐射的四大危害

  提醒:电脑辐射最大处在后面,不在屏幕



  1、电脑辐射污染会影响人体的循环系统、免疫、生殖和代谢功能,严重的还会诱发癌症、并会加速人体的癌细胞增殖。`

  2、影响人们的生殖系统主要表现为男子精子质量降低,孕妇发生自然流产和胎儿畸形等。2.}N

  3、影响人们的心血管系统表现为心悸、失眠,部分女性经期紊乱、心动过缓、心搏血量减少、窦性心率不齐、白细胞减少、免疫功能下降等。5S

  4、对人们的视觉系统有不良影响由于眼睛属于人体对电磁辐射的敏感器官,过高的电磁辐射污染还会对视觉系统造成影响。主要表现为视力下降,引起白内障等

  防止电脑辐射的方法:

  上完网后洗脸可以减少70%的辐射

  提醒:电脑辐射最大处在后面,不在屏幕

电脑摆放位置很重要。尽量别让屏幕的背面朝着有人的地方,因为电脑辐射最强的是背面,其次为左右两侧,屏幕的正面反而辐射最弱。以能看清楚字为准,至少也要50厘米到75厘米的距离,这样可以减少电磁辐射的伤害。

The risks to human health posed by ionizing radiation are well known.

Radon gas is by far the most important source of ionizing radiation among those that are of natural origin.

Radon (222Rn) is a noble gas formed from radium (226Ra), which is a decay product of Uranium (238U).

Uranium and radium occur naturally in soils and rocks.
Other decay products of uranium include the isotopes thoron (220Rn)
and actinon (219Rn).

Radon gas, which has a half-life of 3.8 days, emanates from rocks and soils and tends to concentrate in enclosed spaces like underground mines or houses.

It is a major contributor to the ionizing radiation dose received by the
general population.

When radon gas is inhaled, densely ionizing alpha particles emitted by deposited short-lived decay products of radon (218Po and 214Po) can interact with biological tissue in the lungs leading to DNA damage.

Cancer is generally thought to require the occurrence of at least one mutation, and proliferation of intermediate cells that have sustained some degree of DNA damage can greatly increase the pool of cells available for the development of cancer.

Since even a single alpha particle can cause major genetic damage to a cell, it is possible that radon-related DNA damage can occur at any level of exposure.

Therefore, it is unlikely that there is a threshold concentration below which radon does not have the potential to cause lung cancer.

Health effects of radon, most notably lung cancer, have been investigated for several decades.

Initially, investigations focused on underground miners exposed to high concentrations of radon in their occupational environment. However, in the early 1980s, several surveys of radon concentrations
in homes and other buildings were carried out, and the results of these surveys, together with risk estimates based on the studies of mine workers, provided indirect evidence that radon may be an important cause of lung cancer in the general population.

Recently, efforts to directly investigate the association between indoor radon and lung cancer have provided convincing evidence of
increased lung cancer risk causally associated with radon, even at levels commonly found in buildings.

Risk assessment for radon both in mines and in residential settings have provided clear insights into the health risks due to radon.

Radon is now recognized as the second most important cause of lung cancer after smoking in the general population.

Are Cell Phones and Wifi making People Sick?

 

 

 

Is Radiation emitted by Mobile Phones harmful?

Does WiFi emit any harmful radiation that effects human body and brain?

In 2007, Dr. Lennart Hardell, from Örebro University in Sweden, reviewed published epidemiological papers (2 cohort studies and 16 case-control studies) and found that:[34]

•    Cell phone users had an increased risk of malignant gliomas.

•    Link between cell phone use and a higher rate of acoustic neuromas.

•    Tumors are more likely to occur on the side of the head that the cell handset is used.

•    One hour of cell phone use per day significantly increases tumor risk after ten years or more.

骨痛热症



以下是医生所给的治疗指南,骨痛热症没有药可以医,唯有靠自己身体所建立的免疫系统来康复。所以即使患上骨痛热症也不一定需要进院,因人而异。

 

大家有没有发现到,当身体的免疫系统开始变弱的时候,什么疾病都会找上门, 仿佛什么病毒跟自己都很对眼似的,但是我相信没什么人喜欢当药罐子,包括自己在内。

一直以来我们对【骨痛热症】(简称为Dengue)这疾病的了解就只是某某哪天不好运碰上有病的蚊子叮咬后,自己也会被传染疾病,症状就是连续几天发烧,头痛,骨头痛,全身乏力等。

额外知识 :
* 正常的血小板的指数为150 - 400 ,当血小板低于150,高于100的时候,医生就会怀疑病患得了骨痛热症,并要求第二天再去抽血。

* 如果此时血小板低于100或50的话,就能确定是骨痛热症,而且病患也要进院吊点滴了。因为血小板不能低于20,不然病患体内会出血并休克死亡。

* 有些病患会伴有腹泻或呕吐,而有些不会有红斑,有些则有。红斑通常会在发烧第3天,或退烧后才发出来,因人而异。

* 如果各位身处于骨痛热症热区,发烧连续几天不会退烧,要赶快求医,千万别耽误了诊断时间。
