Why test for radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas naturally found in soil. It can enter homes and buildings and accumulate to levels that increase the risk of lung cancer. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers and the second-leading cause for smokers. Testing is the only way to know the radon level in your home.
