Stand Alone Radon Testing
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas.
You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.

Breathing radon in your home can cause lung cancer
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms when uranium, thorium, or radium, which are radioactive metals, break down in rock, soil, and water. Radon can build up to dangerous levels inside any home; this includes new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without a basement. Radon gas is odorless and invisible and the only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test for it.
