What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is invisible, odorless, and radioactive. It comes from the breakdown of uranium in most soils, and radon can get into your home through cracks in the foundation or your water supply. While radon can get into the well water that supplies the home, the most common source of radon infiltration is in the soil surrounding the home.
Once radon gets into the home, it is trapped and can become concentrated in the indoor air that you breathe. Inhaling concentrated levels of radon causes dangerous health risks due to the radioactive particles that harm the lung cells. Even if you live in a well–sealed home, or a home that doesn’t have a basement, you could still be at risk. According to an EPA study, "all homeowners in the nation are at risk when it comes to radon exposure." Call Clean Air Act today to learn more about these risks.
