    <title>Did You Know?  January is National Radon Action Month</title>
    <link>http://www.building-your-green-home.com/radon-detector.html</link>
    <description>This month in the U.S. is &lt;b&gt;National Radon Action Month&lt;/b&gt; - proclaimed by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).  

Did you know that &lt;b&gt;radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer&lt;/b&gt; in the U.S.?  And it&#39;s a serious problem in countries all over the world.  

Not only can it seep through cracks in your home&#39;s foundation, radon can also be emitted through some new home building materials.  

All granite should be tested (preferably before installation) because some of it may emit gamma radiation and radon! If you have granite counter tops or floors, be sure you test it for radon. 

Since radon is an odorless and colorless gas, you can&#39;t know if it is a problem in your home unless you test for it.  Whether or not you have any granite in your home, you still could have a serious radon problem. 

Take action now - this month - and protect the health and well being of your family.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.building-your-green-home.com/radon-detector.html&quot;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; for more info on radon detection. 

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don&#39;t let your family fall prey to this silent killer.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description>
