Radon gas is an invisible, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert radioactive gas. It is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. It tends to collect in basements or lower levels in homes and buildings because it is approximately 7.5 times heavier than air.
The EPA has linked exposure to radon gas to an increased chance of developing lung cancer, and as ranked radon exposure as the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the US, behind smoking.
Radon testing is the only way to effectively know if your home or property has a higher than average radon concentration of 4.0 pCi/L or higher. It can be found in all 50 states.
