The Hidden Risk You Can't Ignore. What is Radon, and Why is it Dangerous?
What is Radon, and Why is it Dangerous?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from the ground that can enter buildings and accumulate to high levels. As long-term exposure to elevated levels of radon can cause lung cancer.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and just like smoking, radon poisoning can be easily and completely prevented by testing your home for radon.
Don't let what you can’t see put your family at risk.
Should You Test Your House For Radon Gas?
Every home should be tested for radon. Radon levels cannot be predicted based on state, city, or neighborhood that you live in. Do not rely on radon test results taken in your neighbors home to estimate the radon level in your home. Homes right next door to each other can have drastically different radon levels. Testing for radon is the ONLY WAY to find out what your home's radon level is.
