Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil and rocks. It can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation and accumulate to levels that can pose a health risk. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon gas is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. It is important to test for radon in homes and take steps to mitigate levels if necessary.

Radon gas seeps out of rocks underground why is it important to stop radon collecting in houses?
Radon gas is a radioactive gas.In high risk areas,houses may need extra underfoor ventilation to stop the gas collecting or,ideally,a sealed floor to stop it entering in the first place. Radon is a decay product of uranium, which is relatively common in the Earth's crust, but generally concentrated in ore-bearing rocks scattered around the world. Radon seeps out of these ores into the atmosphere or into ground water, and in these localities it can accumulate within dwellings and expose humans to high concentrations.Radiation exposure from radon is indirect. Radon has a short half-life (4 days) and decays into other solid particulate. These radioactive particles are inhaled and remain lodged in the lungs, causing continued exposure. People in affected localities can receive up to 10 mSv per year background radiation.
