After tobacco smoke, radon exposure is the second-most common cause of lung cancer. This gas is found naturally in the soil. It’s colorless and odorless and can leak into your home through small gaps in your foundation or siding. Once in your home it can increase the risk of lung cancer in your entire household.
Approximately one in 15 homes are affected in the United States. Don’t let your home be one of them. There are professional and DIY kits available to test your home’s air quality to see if you need to take action against radon gas.
