What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is inert, colorless, and odorless. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. The radon gas moves up through the ground and becomes trapped indoors after it enters through cracks and holes in the foundation.
Health Risks of Radon
Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States including almost 700 cases each year in Virginia. Breathing radon over time increases your risk of lung cancer.
What types of homes are affected?
Any home can have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed, and drafty homes. The EPA estimates that nearly 1 in 15 homes in the United States has elevated radon levels (4 pCi/L or more). Testing is the only way to find out your home’s radon level.
