What illness does radon cause?
Radon gas can cause lung cancer after smoking. Non-smokers can get them as well. Gas rises up underneath the homes if there is low pressure in the house, and it can act like a vacume. Radon gas is the heaviest gas of all, so it should be sitting on the flours. High levels of radon is like smoking 135 cigarette packs a day. There are radon detection kits and radon extraction services. The extraction services may cost as much as a small home repair.
