Here is what is coming up on Saturday on the next two hours of the around the House Show, Eric sits down Dallas Jones to talk about how to best deal with radon in your home.

But lots of residential studies not just in the United States but all over the world that it has a direct connection to increased risk of lung cancer.

So the 4 picocurie per liter action level here in the United States was not set because it was considered to be a safe point.

It was years ago when they at that it was considered to be an achievable concentration that our mitigation technology could consistently reduce levels to below 4 picocuries per liter.

In the second hour, Eric explores ways to keep the cold and flu out of your home.

He talks about current events plus so much more.

If you've got a good filter system like that that captures and kills maybe turning that on for a week or so on low.

So you're just moving air around and extra filtering the air because with most system when the house gets to temperature and this time of year it's mostly depending on where you're at.

In most of the states right now you got heat on maybe down Southern Arizona you got the AC going like normal, but that's it.

But if you've got that heat or AC on it's going through there.

When it turns off by turning that fan on, it's going to continue to filter air.

So that's a great one.

The next thing I recommend is if you have any kind of HEPA filters in the house, run those and all that and more on Saturday's around the House show with Eric G.
