What is Radon?
Radon is a gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Radon comes from the ground, and can be found at high levels in some buildings. This is dangerous because breathing in high levels of radon for a long time increases the risk of lung cancer.
All homes have some level of radon gas, the question is – how much? The only way to know is to test.
Get to know radon by taking a closer look at some common radon questions in our Radon Game.
