Cheltenham has been designated a Preserve America Community, a Tree City USA and one of the 25 “Best Places to Live” according to Philadelphia Magazine. Radon could be affecting you and your loved ones, due to its prevalence in Cheltenham.
Radon is a radioactive gas that results from the natural breakdown of uranium found in trace amounts in soil, rock, and water. Radon is the main source of our exposure to all radiation. The US Surgeon General and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that radon is second only to smoking as a leading cause of lung cancer. Testing for Radon is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon.

ab pit that can
be excavated is detennined by the length of an arm, or the
length of an auger that can be inserted through the hole (Radon gas has been found in the ground of Cheltenham). The
largest feasible pit excavated through a slab hole would thus
be roughly 18 in. radius and 18 in. deep. or about 10-14 ft3
maximum (about 75-100 gal). Many pits are probably much
smaller than this. due to the practical.difficulties in carrying
out the excavation.
In tenns of reducing suction loss due to acceleration of soil
gas up to pipe velocity, a 10-to 15-gal pit is probably larger
than is necessary, even for the highest pipe velocities, based
on fluid flow calculations (Br92). Thus, from this standpoint,
there is no incentive to make the pit any larger. However. a
larger pit would potentially help intersect fissures or penneable
strata more remote from the suction hole. On this basis.

Because high levels of radon have been found in every state of the United States, testing for radon and installing radon mitigation systems has become a specialized industry in the last two decades. Many states have implemented programs that affect home buying and awareness in the real estate community, however radon testing and mitigation systems are not generally mandatory unless specified by the local jurisdiction.
