Radon: Radon comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rocks and water and gets into the air you breathe. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation.
Asbestos: Asbestos has been a part of the building materials since the 1970s. The mere presence of asbestos in your home is not hazardous. The danger of it is the material becomes damaged over time and can release asbestos fibres that present a health problem. Studies show that people exposed to high levels of asbestos fibres have an increase risk of cancer and asbestosis.
Mold: Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. The way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
Carbon Manoxide: Carbon Manoxide is produced by the incomplete combustions of the fossil fuels - gas, oil, coal and wood used in boilers, engines, oil burners, gas fires, water heaters, solid fuel appliances and open fires.
