Radon Exposure
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms in the soil and can enter buildings through cracks in foundations, crawl spaces, and other openings. Because it is colorless and odorless, radon can build up indoors without any obvious warning. Long-term exposure happens most often in enclosed spaces like basements and lower levels, where concentrations can reach dangerous levels if not properly addressed.
Health Risks
Prolonged exposure to elevated radon levels significantly increases the risk of lung cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer overall and the leading cause among non-smokers. When inhaled, radioactive particles from radon can damage lung tissue over time, increasing the likelihood of cancer development. The risk grows with higher radon concentrations and longer periods of exposure.
Symptoms
Radon exposure does not cause immediate or noticeable symptoms, which is what makes it especially dangerous. Health effects often develop slowly over years and may not appear until serious lung damage has already occurred. Symptoms linked to radon-related lung cancer can include a persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, hoarseness, and unexplained weight loss. Testing is the only reliable way to know if radon is present at unsafe levels.
Prevention
Preventing radon exposure starts with proper testing and mitigation. Professional radon testing identifies whether levels exceed recommended safety limits, while mitigation systems safely redirect radon gas away from the building. Sealing foundation cracks, improving ventilation, and installing a radon mitigation system are proven methods for reducing indoor radon levels. Ongoing monitoring helps ensure your home or workplace remains protected over time.
