What r the symptoms of radon gas exposure ?
There are no visible signs or symptoms specific to radon poisoning according to the CDC. The Surgeon General states that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. and it is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year.
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas that is undetectable to the senses. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and can seep into the air.
It is estimated that 1 out of every 15 homes in the U.S.has elevated radon levels.
The EPA offers tips on how to test your home for radon gas and how to lower radon levels in your home.
