Radon is an odourless, tasteless, colourless, radioactive gas. Radon is in virtually all the air we breathe, but becomes a serious health issue when too much accumulates inside a building.

The only way to know if a building has an elevated level of radon is to test. So, by testing your workplace or home, you are taking steps to prevent lung cancer in yourself and others. 

When people are exposed to radon, there is a chance that they may develop lung cancer. Elevated levels can be found in all types of buildings all over Canada. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers.

When radon (and its decay products) decay, they release energy which can create mutations in the DNA of the lung tissue cells. The greater the concentration of radon, the greater the health risk to the occupants breathing the air.
