Welcome to Silver Spring’s January 2010 Newsletter

Happy New Year!

Silver Spring finally emerged from 21” of pre-Christmas snow to find freezing temperatures into 2010.  Go to SilverSpringCenter.com’s weather page for the latest on Silver Spring’s winter weather advisories, tips on winterizing your car and weatherizing your home.  Get weather and traffic emergency updates by email or text by signing up for Alert Montgomery, sponsored by Montgomery County Government.  Finally and most importantly, check when the snow plows are coming to your street or elsewhere in Montgomery County by visiting the Dept. of Transportation’s website.

                                                                Stay Warm!

Silver Spring Health:  Radon Action Awareness Month

 

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released in rock, soil, and water from the natural decay of uranium. While levels in outdoor air pose a relatively low threat to human health, radon can accumulate to dangerous levels inside buildings. You can’t see, smell, or taste it, but an elevated radon level in your home may be affecting the health of your family.

Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the number one cause among non-smokers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that radon causes more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths in the country each year. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. If you smoke and your home has radon, your risk of lung cancer can be higher.

For more information on Radon, visit SilverSpringCenter’s Health’s page.
