What Is Radon Gas?
According to the National Cancer Institute, radon gas is a dangerous gas present throughout the U.S. About 1 in 15 homes have levels above the recommended level. Let’s consider some important facts.
Radon is particularly dangerous because it is both invisible and odorless. To find if you’re vulnerable, you must test your home for radon.
Uranium, thorium, and radium occur naturally in rocks, soil, and sometimes water. When these elements break down, they release radon into buildings. It enters through cracks, crevices, and well water.
Tightly sealed buildings have higher levels, as do basements and first floors because of their proximity to the ground.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It is a contributing factor in 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths each year.
