Radon
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and invisible gas.
How does radon cause lung cancer?
Long-term exposure to high radon levels can increase your risk of developing lung cancer. When radon gas decays, it breaks down into radioactive particles that can get trapped in your lungs when you breathe. As the particles continue to decay, they release small bursts of energy that can damage lung tissue and may lead to lung cancer in some people.
