What is radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that forms naturally
from the decay of radioactive elements, which are found at
different levels in soil and rock. Radon gas in the soil and
rock can move into the air and into ground
water and surface water.
Most exposure
to radon comes from being indoors in homes, commercial buildings,
schools, and other places.
The level of radon depends on the
characteristics of the rock and soil in the area. As a result,
radon levels vary greatly
in different parts of the United States, even within neighborhoods.
Elevated radon levels have been found in every state.
