Indoor Radon Risk: Reality or Myth

Radon is a carcinogenic, naturally occurring radioactive gas that cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. While radon escaping from soil normally becomes diluted in the surrounding air, it can accumulate inside structures.

This presentation is designed to enumerate the strengths in the indoor radon risk assessment and emphasize the public health risk which indoor radon poses in homes.
