What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It's invisible, odorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing.
⚠️ Health Warning
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths annually in the United States.
EPA Action Level
The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher. However, any level above 2.0 pCi/L poses some risk.
