WHAT IS RADON?
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gaseous element formed by the breakdown of Radium (bedrock and soil beneath the house). It occurs naturally, especially in areas over granite, and is considered hazardous to health. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in homes, especially in confined areas such as basements or crawlspaces where there is limited ventilation.
High Radon levels have been linked to lung cancer and over 20,000 deaths annually. Radon can be reduced through proper mitigation.
