The Hidden Health Risks Inside Our Homes

 
Ksenia Kolyeva, Senior Marketing Manager at Ecosense, a Silicon Valley–based company leading the way in smart radon detection and environmental health technology joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Technology Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Ksenia Kolyeva discuss the following:
A common headline is that radon is one of the overlooked health risks. Why is radon considered that way. Why should people pay attention to radon today?
What everyday habits or home conditions can increase the radon exposure? What steps can listeners take to lower the radon exposure risk?
When you know what is happening in the home environment beyond radon how does that help you be more proactive, about your health?
Technology evolves. I wonder how the EcoQube Flex changes the way the homeowners monitor the environmental health issues and the way the homeowners respond in time.
When getting a new home, where do I start? What type of resources (i.e., EcoQube Flex) will help reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed while supporting one on their path to their home?
If there’s one simple mindset shift or small action you’d encourage people to take when it comes to their indoor health, what would it be — and how can greater awareness of things like radon make a real difference over time?
About Ecosense
