Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, radioactive gas.

• Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States after smoking. Radon is responsible for approximately 22,000 deaths annually.

• It can seep into homes and other buildings and builds up over time.

• You’re at higher risk for developing lung cancer if you breathe in high levels of radon gas over time (over 4 pCi/L or 148 Bq/m3).

• Tests can measure radon in your home and are recommended every 2 years.

• Mitigation effectively lowers radon to acceptable levels.
