Radon is a radioactive gas. I occurs naturally in the soil from decaying uranium deposits. Radon is a chemical element with the symbol Rn and atomic number 86.

In modern homes radon can be a major indoor air pollutant. Radon seems to be the cause of about 10% of the lung cancer cases in North America.

Can radon get into a home with an exposed basement?

Yes, radon can enter a home with an exposed basement through cracks in the foundation or gaps in the basement floor.
