Radon Testing
What is Radon

Radon.
​
Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in most rocks and soil. It is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon is harmlessly dispersed in outdoor air, but when trapped in buildings can increase the risk of lung cancer, especially at elevated levels.
​
The Surgeon General has warned that indoor Radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today and more than 20,000 Americans die of radon-related lung cancer every year.
​
15 counties in Alabama have been identified as having the highest potential for elevated Radon levels. (see map)
