When you breathe in radon, radioactive materials can get trapped in your lungs. Over time, these radioactive materials increase the risk of lung cancer. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/radon Radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States after cigarette smoking.
Radon is an odorless, invisible radioactive gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water. Radon can get into homes and buildings through small cracks or holes and build up in the air. 1 in 15 homes in the U.S. have high radon levels. Source: Environmental Protection Agency. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/radon
Testing is the only way to determine if your home has high radon levels. Hire a licensed professional to install a radon reduction system if levels are over 4pCi/L. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/radon.
Anyone can get lung cancer from breathing in high levels of radon over time. Radon is an odorless, invisible, radioactive gas that can build up in homes and buildings putting people at risk. Learn how to protect yourself: bit.ly/4j4dI1I
