You can’t see radon. And you can’t smell it or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home. Radon is estimated to cause thousands of deaths each year. That’s because when you breathe air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths.Because it is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to know whether elevated levels are present.Testing is especially important during home purchases, before listing a property, for rental properties, and for homeowners who want to better understand indoor air quality and potential health risks.
