What radon is (and how it gets into homes) Radon is a gas you can’t see or smell, but it can still be dangerous. It forms naturally in the ground when rocks and soil break down small amounts of uranium. From there, radon can move up through the soil and slip into homes through tiny […]
Protect younger children from radon gas Radon is a natural radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it. But it can still get into your home through tiny cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, crawl spaces, and sump pumps. Once radon […]
Radon is a radioactive gas you can’t see, smell, or taste. It forms naturally in soil and rock, then moves up through the ground and can collect inside buildings. When you breathe in radon over time, it can damage your lungs. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, and it can […]
Radon is a natural radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. You can’t see radon, smell it, or taste it, but it can build up in homes—especially in basements and ground-level rooms. Radon is important to take seriously because breathing high levels over time can increase the risk of […]
Radon is an invisible gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can move through the ground and enter a home through small cracks and openings in the foundation. Because you cannot see or smell radon, testing is the only way to know your level. Why radon levels change […]
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that occurs naturally in the environment. It is a radioactive element that forms when uranium, which is found in soil and rocks, breaks down over time. While radon is present almost everywhere on Earth, its concentration varies depending on the geology of an area. Understanding radon in […]
Radon Exposure in Smokers vs. Non-Smokers Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes through cracks in floors, walls, and foundations. While radon is invisible and has no smell, it is extremely dangerous. In fact, radon is the second […]
Understanding Radon Exposure: Long-term vs. Short-term Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes through cracks in floors, walls, and foundations. Because you can't see, smell, or taste radon, many people don't realize they're being exposed to it. Understanding […]
Understanding Radon and Why Testing Matters Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. This radioactive gas can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, and floors. Because you cannot see, smell, or taste radon, the only way to know if it's in your […]
