Radon

How

Lung Cancer?

Can Cause

What is Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, colorless, and odorless, increasing lung cancer risk

Health Impact

Radon exposure, a silent threat, is linked to over 21,000 lung cancer deaths annually, according to the EPA

Radon Indoors

Trapped indoors, radon accumulates through cracks, escalating lung cancer risks over time

Radon vs. Smoking

After smoking, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths

Testing and Prevention

Early radon testing can prevent lung cancer. Homes with high levels require immediate mitigation

Worldwide Issue

Globocan 2020: 35-40% of lung cancer cases in non-smokers are due to radon, especially in urban areas

Take Action Now

Advocating for radon testing in homes can significantly reduce lung cancer risks
