The Effects of Radon Gas
Radon gas is currently one of the leading causes of lung cancer next to smoking. It is unidentifiable by human senses. It is a tasteless and odorless gas. This makes it especially dangerous if your home is left untested. It can be released through the natural decay of uranium in the ground from where it rises above the soil, into the air, and then in the home. If left alone, a home contaminated by radon gas will severely decrease your indoor air quality and home comfort. There is no reason to take the risk that you and your family might be breathing in radon.
