Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. The radioactive gas generally enters your home by way of tiny cracks/holes in the foundation.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers KILLING 22,000 Americans every year. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association agree that long term exposure to elevated levels of radon pose a significant health risk to you and your family. Since radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas, the only way to determine what the levels of radon in your home are is by testing.

The U.S. EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey have evaluated the radon potential in the U.S. and have developed the above map to assist National, State, and local organizations to target their resources and to assist building code officials in deciding whether radon-resistant features are applicable in new construction. This map is not intended to be used to determine if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones. All homes should be tested regardless of geographic location.
