Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed by the decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Radon is invisible, odorless, and tasteless and can only be detected through specialized tests. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks indoor radon among today’s most serious environmental health problems.

While radon disperses quickly in the outdoor environment, it can accumulate in the home. Long-term exposure to radon has been linked to increased risk of lung cancer. The greater the concentration and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of developing lung cancer. 

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recommends that all homeowners test their homes for radon, and mitigate (fix) their home if tests reveal levels of 4 pCi/L or more.
