Ramping up their campaign to reduce health hazards from radon, state officials released an online map Tuesday that Minnesotans can use to check risk levels in their area. The Minnesota Department of ...
Risk maps for the cancer-causing gas radon can encourage people to test their homes for the substance, but only if homeowners live in known, higher-risk areas, new University of Oregon research finds.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless [15] gas and therefore is not detectable by human senses alone. At standard temperature and pressure, it forms a monatomic gas with a density of 9.73 kg/m 3, about 8 times the density of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level, 1.217 kg/m 3. [16] It is one of the densest gases at room temperature (a few are denser, e.g. CF 3 (CF 2) 2 CF 3 and WF 6) and ...
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that you can unknowingly breathe in from your home. Learn about its health effects and how to reduce levels.
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.
Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and invisible gas produced by the decay of naturally occurring uranium in soil and water.
