What is Radon?
Radon is a natural toxic gas that enters the home through the foundation, Radon cannot be detected through smell, sight, or taste, and can cause irreparable health damage if a considerable amount is inhaled or ingested.
The Health Effects of Radon
Second only to smoking, Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. As Radon decays it releases small bursts of energy that can alter cells. The problem is that when you inhale Radon into your lungs it continues to decay into finer particles that can implant themselves perfectly into the lungs. This could potentially initiate cancer.

Each year an estimated 21,000 deaths are linked to Radon according to the EPA. As of January 1st, 2014 sellers are now required to provide buyers with a detailed disclosure. The Office of the Surgeon General recommends that all homes be tested because it’s the only way to tell if Radon levels are above a safe level.
