Radon is a naturally occurring gas that normally floats up into the atmosphere where it is harmless. However, it can get trapped in structures and build-up, and become deadly. Radon has been identified as a cause of lung cancer.
No home is safe from radon buildup. Every home should be checked for this potentially deadly gas.
