What is Radon? • Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive
gas created from the decay of uranium, found in rock, soil and water.
• Radon is extremely radioactive, emitting alpha radiation as it decays.
• Inside the lungs, tissues can be genetically damaged by radon decay products, which can lead to lung cancer.

The Problem?
• Radon gas exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
• Buildings trap the radon where it can become concentrated enough to be a health hazard.
• Building codes in the Canada and the USA now require Radon mitigation.
