You can't see, taste, smell, or feel radon. Testing your home for radon is the only way to know how safe your family is from the air it's breathing.
Radon is a tasteless, odorless, invisible gas found in every home. This radioactive gas is produced by the breakdown of uranium in the earth's crust. It's the #1 cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the #2 cause of lung cancer behind smoking. Radon seeps into your living space through holes and cracks in your home’s foundation. Unseen, unheard, and unknown without proper testing.
Radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths each year – that’s more than drunk driving, house fires, serious falls, and drownings.
Radon exposure is the #1 cause of lung cancer for non-smokers.
The #2 leading cause behind smoking.
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients have 10x more radon accumulated in their brains than those without neurodegenerative disorders.
Radon plays a role in the development of life-threatening conditions like skin cancer.
Childhood leukemia rates are correlated with long-term exposure to radon.
The EPA threshold for radon abatement is 4 pCi/l. That's equivalent to every man, woman, child, baby, dog, and cat in the home smoking 144 packs of cigarettes each year or getting 200 chest X-rays. In contrast, most hospitals will restrict you to 4 X-rays in a year.
The EPA is expected to lower its threshold for abatement to 2 pCi/l. Congress passed a law in 1988 with a goal to have all indoor radon levels below 0.5 pCi/l.
Radon is the heaviest gas there is. It's 8x heavier than air. Because of that, it's used as a "tracer" gas to determine the effectiveness of a mitigation system in removing other soil gases, VOCs, and moisture vapor from beneath the living space.
Those gases can be the source of inexplicable allergy symptoms. When radon is reduced, from any level, all other soil gases are reduced or eliminated.

Radon exposure is associated with an increased risk of cancer and certain neurodegenerative conditions. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers, and the second leading cause for smokers.
Radon is a natural byproduct of uranium present in soil. As the uranium breaks down with time, it releases radon into the air as a gas.
