Whats the symptoms of Radon poisoning

Not Medical Advice: Radon exposure does not cause symptoms. Unless your office or home is tested for high radon levels, you might not realize that you are being exposed to dangerous levels of radon till you or someone in your family is diagnosed with lung cancer.

If you might have been exposed to high levels of radon over long periods of time, talk with your physician about whether you should get regular health checkups and tests to look for probable signs of lung cancer.

Be conscious of possible symptoms of lung cancer, such as a new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, pain or tightness in the chest, hoarseness, or trouble swallowing, and tell your doctor if you start to have any of these symptoms.

Radon is naturally existing but can be harmful in large quantities. Learn more about radon with these safety facts and tips from the National Safety Council.
