It’s a fact: Radon is a toxic gas that can cause lung cancer.
Radon can find its way inside your home from cracks inside the walls and floors, or even your well water.
Here are 5 facts about radon and why it is so dangerous to our health:
- Radon exposure is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., after smoking.
- Radon is a colorless and odorless gas, and as many as 1 in 15 homes in the United States have high levels of radon inside the home.
- Radon removal systems can eliminate up to 99 percent of radon and can greatly reduce your risk for radon-related lung cancer.
