Although undetected by sight, smell, or taste, this radioactive gas has led to an estimated 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year. Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that can be found outdoors and indoors. It is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the radioactive decay of Uranium, which are found in soil and rock throughout the world. This radon then breaks down into solid radioactive elements which are called radon Progeny. This radon progeny can then attract to air particulates and if inhaled can give off high energy radiation which can damage the DNA inside the body’s cells. In comparison with Radon in outdoor air, humans confined air spaces, such as mines and buildings, are exposed to higher concentrations of radon. The levels
