Radon Gas
Health
Usually, exposure to radon gas is at a very low level and does not pose a significant health risk. However, recent studies have conclusively linked long-term exposure to high levels of radon with lung cancer.
Radon levels vary from home to home depending on the soil under the home, construction and ventilation. The only way to be sure of the radon level in your home is to test. New and old homes should be tested. Tests are available online for under $50, and results take about 3-6 months.
