RADON AND YOUR HEALTH

Radon is a dangerous radioactive gas that can be found in your home without you even realizing it. It’s tasteless, odorless, and invisible, but it can cause serious health risks, especially regarding your respiratory system.


According to the Surgeon General, radon is the second most typical cause of lung cancer in Americans, killing up to 20,000 people annually. Children and animals are even more sensitive to the effects of radon because of their high respiratory rate and rapidly dividing cells.

Radon enters buildings through cracks in floors, walls, sump pits, and other sources. Since it’s a heavy gas, the basement or crawl space levels are typically the highest. If you spend time in a basement or other low-level room, you could be at a greater risk of exposure.

Radon is created from uranium’s natural breakdown, typically found in igneous rock and soil. Furthermore, it may be found in well water. Radon particles can adhere to other airborne substances and travel to your lungs at remarkable speeds when breathed or consumed. These particles can break down red blood cells and activate cancer cells, leading to serious health concerns.
