Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water and gets into the air you breathe.
According to the EPA, exposure to radon has been linked to lung cancer. Statistically, most people will likely get their greatest radiation exposure at home.
Any home can have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes.

Bacteriological Analysis for Drinking Water
This bacteriological water analysis is made in accordance with the methodology described in the latest edition of the American Public Health Association. Standard Methods for water and wastewater examination complies with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services standards for drinking water. Drinking water samples are analyzed for the presence of coliform bacteria. If coliform bacteria are present in the sample, it is then analyzed for the presence of E. coli.
Coliform Bacteria
Coliforms are a group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals. Coliforms also occur naturally in the soil, on vegetation, and in surface waters (lakes and streams). Most members of the coliform group do not cause disease. When found in drinking water, coliform bacteria indicate that water contamination has occurred, and other disease-causing bacteria could also get into the water supply.
E. Coli
Escherichia Coli (E. coli) is a coliform group of bacteria member found only in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, including humans. When found in drinking water, E. coli indicates the water has been contaminated with human or animal wastes. Possible sources of contamination include leaking septic systems, surface water, leaking into the supply, and runoff from agricultural lots.
