Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil. As radon rises from the ground, it can enter a home and build to dangerous levels. If you have a well, radon can also make its way into a home’s drinking water and plumbing. Exposure to radon can cause serious health problems. In fact, radon gas is second only to smoking as the leading cause of lung cancer [1].
