What is Radon?

According to the American Cancer Society, “Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that’s produced by decaying uranium. It is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer.” Radon can also be found naturally in the atmosphere in small amounts, and it can enter your home and get trapped. This is why it’s so vital to have a radon inspection performed. You may be breathing in small yet dangerous amounts of radon and not even be aware.

How Can Radon Affect My Health?

The EPA and the American Cancer Society both warn of the health effects of radon. It can potentially cause lung cancer when inhaled. In fact, about 21,000 people die each year from radon-related lung cancer. Radon is the second highest cause of lung cancer—and other associated cancers like childhood leukemia—next to smoking. However, in outdoor settings, radon is not known to be harmful to your health, as it will rapidly disperse, so the chances of breathing in large amounts decrease significantly. Radon poisoning is serious. If you suspect you have extremely high levels in your home, it’s time to call a professional to test and detect it promptly and accurately.

How Did Radon Get Inside My Home?

Radon gas can be found in the soil. It can easily seep into your home via the ground and directly into pores in concrete. Some of the most common entry points for radon are gaps in walls and floors. Poor or faulty home construction can contribute to high radon levels in your home, but all homes are susceptible to radon exposure.
