Radon testing: Radon is a naturally occurring carcinogen. This radioactive gas is released from rock, soil and water formed from the breakdown of uranium. The exterior levels in air pose a low threat to human health. However, radon can enter homes from surrounding soil and become a health hazard inside buildings. You can’t see it or smell it, but an elevated radon level in your home may be affecting the health of your family.

Exposure to radon over prolonged periods may damage lung tissue. Radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers in the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that radon causes more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths in the country each year. It is second only to smoke induced lung cancer.
