What is radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that's colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing. As the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths annually. Radon gas is present in varying concentrations in every home, workplace, and school, but the only way to know your actual radon levels is through testing; the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends that every home be tested for radon. Understanding your home's radon exposure is essential for protecting your family's long-term health.
