Toads can live in drier climates, where most frogs usually live in or near water. In the Tropics, where most anuran (members of the order comprising the frogs, toads, and tree toads) species occur, however, the differences are harder to determine, and some species could qualify as either toads or frogs.
Radon Gas is Found in Homes all Over the U.S. Radon is an invisible and odorless radioactive gas. Elevated levels of radon have been found in homes all across the country. Any home in any state may have a radon problem: new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. Radon gas gets into all types of buildings, including office buildings and schools.
A new study of lung cancers in Lancaster County again has Grosh wondering if the radon scare is overblown. Studies have repeatedly shown Lancaster County has some of the country's highest readings of radon, a naturally occurring gas found in the soil from decaying uranium. think it's a scare that has not been proven to that degree.. Turns out that Grosh-while perhaps in the minority-is not alone. Bernard Cohen, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Pittsburgh, has been a doubting Thomas of the radon danger at lower levels of exposure for 20 years.
