Radon Prescreened Links
Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc.

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon poses a health threat because is may cause lung cancer if you breathe it in. Radon can concentrate in your home - seeping in from the surrounding soil. In fact, the radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today, only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. Your home can be tested for radon and, if found to have elevated levels, it can be fixed. The following links will provide a comprehensive look, from the perspective of several organizations, on everything from health effects to radon in real estate.
