Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. Radon gas is inert, colorless and odorless.

Radon is naturally in the atmosphere in trace amounts.

Outdoors, radon disperses rapidly and, generally, is not a health issue. Most radon exposure occurs inside homes, schools, and workplaces. Radon gas becomes trapped indoors after it enters buildings through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Indoor radon can be controlled and managed with proven, cost-effective techniques.

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.

Radon is estimated to cause thousands of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year.

THE EPA RECOMMEND

Test your home for radon—it’s easy and inexpensive.

Fix your home if your radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.

Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced.
