Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that results from the decay of Uranium which is found in certain types of soil and bedrock. You can ’ t see, smell or taste it and it can only be detected by testing. Radon is normally reduced to very low levels in outdoor air, but in certain circumstances it can reach much higher concentrations indoors. Radon is consid- ered second only to smoking as the leading cause of lung cancer. Visit www.vdhradon.org to order a $3 radon test kit from the Virginia Department of Health.
