Radon Is a Cancer-Causing, Radioactive Gas
You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the country today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer increases dramatically.

SHOULD I TEST MY HOME?
The EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General recommend that ALL homes be tested for Radon.
Have a test taken as soon as possible. If you can, test your home before putting it on the market. You should test in the lowest level of the home which is suitable for occupancy.
