Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes and buildings, especially in areas with high levels of uranium. Because it is invisible, people often don't realize they are being exposed to it, which can pose health risks over time.
Long-term exposure to radon gas is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, making it important to test for radon levels in your home. Simple testing kits are available, and if high levels are found, mitigation systems can be installed to reduce radon exposure and keep your living environment safe.
