How Can RADON Affect My Health?
As RADON breaks down, it produces radioactive particles that can become trapped in your lungs when you breathe.
These particles release energy that can damage lung tissue and DNA, and over time, this damage may lead to lung cancer.
Not everyone exposed to RADON will become ill, but lung cancer can take many years to develop after long-term exposure.
RADON and Lung Cancer Risk
Long-term exposure to RADON is linked to about 16% of all lung cancer deaths in Canada.
It is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, and the #1 cause for people who have never smoked.
If you smoke or have smoked, and your home has high RADON levels, your risk of lung cancer increases dramatically.
🧪Protect Yourself
Testing your home for RADON is the only way to know your risk.
If levels are high, professional mitigation can significantly reduce exposure and help protect your family’s long-term health.
