Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas, which is formed by the natural breakdown of uranium. Radon can be found in high concentrations in rock and soil that contains granite, shale, phosphate and uranium, or even fill soil containing industrial waste. Radon can be present in ANY area and in any home. The source can be the radon in the soil or building products used in a home. Studies show approximately one in 15 homes in the United States and Canada has high levels of naturally-occurring radon gas; however, the potential for a radon concern is generally greater in hilly or mountainous areas and lower in sandy, coastal areas.
