Radon is an odorless and invisible radioactive gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water. Radon can get trapped inside homes and buildings, and build up in the air. Over time, breathing in high levels of radon can cause lung cancer. All outdoor and indoor air has some radon in it.
Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can be dangerous to your health. Learn where you’re likely to find high levels of radon, how to test for it, and how it can impact your health.
The maps of Radon Zones identify areas of each state that have the highest potential for elevated indoor radon levels (greater than 4 pCi/L) (EPA United States Radon Map).
