Inhaling radon gas can cause lung cancer

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is produced by the natural breakdown of uranium. Therefore, concerns have been raised about houses in some parts of the United States built over soil with natural uranium deposits.
