Radon is a silent
killer—you can’t feel it, smell it, or taste it. So you could be breathing in
high amounts of this toxic gas and not even know it. In addition, exposure to
radon over time puts you at risk of developing severe health complications.
According to the EPA, radon exposure is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, and it’s the number one cause of the disease amongst non-smokers.
Even more shocking is
that experts believe that 1 in 15 homes in the U.S. has a high amount of radon.
That’s why it’s crucial
to increase your awareness about this radioactive gas.
