Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas emitted from uranium, a naturally occurring mineral in rocks and soil. Radon is a concern when it seeps in through openings such as cracks, loose-fitting pipes, sump pits, dirt floors, slab joints, or block walls and accumulates in the home. It is estimated that radon may be associated with 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States -- second only to smoking.
