Radon is an odorless, tasteless, colorless, invisible radioactive gas, and a Class A carcinogen that is typically found in soil, bedrock and water. It is created from the breakdown of uranium in the Earth. Although it’s naturally occurring, it can contribute to health problems like lung cancer. Radon gas is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer, smoking being the leading cause of lung cancer. Radon gas is everywhere all over the world. Every home has radon gas in it, it’s just a matter of how much. Professional radon testing is the only way to determine if you’re dealing with unsafe radon levels. Radon lives in pockets. One house may low, but the house right next door could be way high. Some of the effects of radon exposure are lung cancer, emphysema, and hardening/damaged lung tissue.
