Why should you be concerned about radon gas in your home?

Since radon is a radioactive gas, when it’s in your home it can pose a danger to your family’s health, and you won’t know it is there as you can’t see, smell or taste it. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. All major national and international organizations that have examined the health risks of radon agree that it is a lung carcinogen.
