Radon is an odorless, colorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas resulting from the radioactive decay of uranium, which exists in most soils. Radon can enter homes and buildings from under a slab, crawlspace or basement. When radon is inhaled, lungs can be seriously damaged. Studies have determined that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is also believed to be the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
The only way to determine if a home or building has elevated indoor radon is to test.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that owners of homes or buildings with an annual indoor radon average of 4.0 pCi/L (picoCuries per liter) should consider radon mitigation.
