EOEM/F Radon found in local houses Group hopes home test kits reduce deaths By Vicki Bode The American Lung Association of Kansas is aiming to reduce the threat of radon, an invisible gas in buildings that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Kansan staff write tung course. The association began selling home radon test kits in February in an attempt to lower the number of deaths caused by radon, said Jayne Garcia, program director at the association. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, radon causes 20,000 deaths a year and exists in 30 percent of the homes in Kansas. able in Kansas." Garcia said. "We started selling the radon test kits because they are not readily avail- Kahlid Kaloud, radiation control inspector at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said that older homes, such as those in the Oread neighborhood, were more vulnerable to radon because they often had old, cracked basements. Radon is an invisible, odorless, colorless radioactive gas found in soils and rocks. It leaks into homes through cracks in concrete floors and walls and dirt floors. Houses that have pump pumps, which drain water out of basements, also allow radon to enter homes, Kalou said. Peter Berendsen, senior scientist at Kansas Geological Survey, said that radon was a complicated gas to study. "There haven't been enough studies done to determine where radon is prevalent," Berendsen said. "We can be very general in studying it." Radon is created through the natural breakdown, or radioactive decay, of uranium, he said. The EFA tested rocks in Kansas to determine levels of uranium, which could potentially turn into radon. The confidential EPA study does not breakdown the levels by individual homes but by zip codes. "We need to know the exact homes that have radon to be able to accurately study it," Berendens said. "But we know that radon is not a natural disaster." Mike Russell, KU environmental health safety officer, said that radon could be found everywhere in the United States but that there was no pattern as to where the high levels would be found. Radon does not affect buildings that are constructed correctly, he said. "Three houses that are next to each other can be tested for radon and one house could have high levels of radon and the others could have low levels," Russell said. "If the building is not constructed tight then radon can leak in," he said. "If there are holes in the concrete basement that is a problem." Commission lobbies in Washington $8 million in federal financing sought for building of parkway By Todd Selfert Kansen staff writer Kansan staff writer Three Lawrence city commissioners traveled to Washington, D.C., this week for the National League of Cities Conference in hopes of gaining $8 million in federal funding for building the Eastern Parkway. The parkway would run northwest from the intersection of Kansas Highway 10 and Noria Road and would connect with Seventh Street in Old North Lawrence. ing for building the Executive Branch. John Nalbandian, vice mayor, said he, Bob Schumun and Bob Schulte, mayor, were lobbying U.S. representatives and senators for money to pay for construction of the parkway. Mike Wildgen, city manager, also made the trio with Seventh Street. "This is a chance for elected officials to get together and have people in Washington hear what's going on in our communities," Nalbandian said from the Capitol. "We're talking primarily about the Eastern Parkway because it is a concern for our community. We will need some help ed. Lawrence voters approved a bond issue worth $4 million in November 1990 that helped start planning for the parkway. ony project. Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said the parkway, which was in the engineering phase, would help ease traffic problems in Lawrence. Nabandian said the state would not assist in financing the project because the parkway was not considered a priority project. "The project would help facilitate movement," Corliss said. "It would make it easier to get from one side of town to another and free up some traffic on 23rd Street." "We've made some improvements to Seventh Street already like repaving the existing road," Corliss said. Corliss said the city already had spent some of its original $4 million in preparation for the project. already like repaying the charges. Nalbandian said the commissioners would attend a breakfast with Sen. Bob Dole this morning and would return to Lawrence tonight. "Hopefully, we'll come back with the Eastern Parkway," he said.
