A Citizen's Guide to Radon | Radon | US Environmental Protection Agency The Guide to Protecting Yourself and Your Family From Radon U.S. EPA/OAR/IED (6609J) EPA 402-K-12-002, May 2012 [Please note, the Spanish version of the Citizen's Guide has not been updated. EPA Recommends Test your home for radon — it's easy and inexpensive.Fix your home if your radon level is 4 picocuries per liter, or pCi/L, or higher.Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced. Radon is estimated to cause thousands of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year. * Radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year, according to EPA's 2003 Assessment of Risks from Radon in Homes (EPA 402-R-03-003). Top of page Overview Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. You can't see radon. Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. Radon can be found all over the U.S. Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. You should test for radon. Step 1.

Periodic Table of Elements and Chemistry FAQ Will dryer sheets or eating special herbs and spices, garlic, vitamin B-1, or bananas ward off biting insects? There is a long list of “repellent” urban legends, including these. NONE of these approaches work reliably. If you want to be protected from insect and tick bites, use a DEET-based repellent. Back to Top Do herbal oils, skin lotions, “natural” plant extracts mixed in oil, and homeopathic approaches repel biting insects? Most of these work for about 20 minutes and are no more effective than smearing cooking oil on your skin. In the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, Richard J. Does DEET cause seizures in children? This recurring rumor is without scientific foundation. I have read something about DEET causing neurological symptoms in laboratory animals in studies at a well-known university. The researcher conducting studies used DEET mixed with known neurotoxins, so a neurological finding is not unusual or unexpected in this instance. Can DEET be used with sunscreen? No.

High School Science Vocabulary Many high school students struggle with the depth and breadth of high school science courses. One way to relieve these stresses and learn to understand even the most intricate science concepts is by mastering the science vocabulary that expresses them. A basic understanding of each word’s definition will give students confidence to use these words and inquire about their linkages and applications. Students who study and review the science terminology and vocabulary used in high school science lessons are better equipped to achieve understanding of the concepts. The seven categories are available through “Summary Lists” in the following categories: Biology, Ecology, Integrated Science, Chemistry, Physics, Space Science, and Earth Science. The comprehensive lists are designed to complement a common high school science curriculum. Using alternate means of study, such as high school science word games, can make a big difference.
