Fears Over Lack of Data On Health Effects of Radon Gas

Radon gas is a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. It is found in the air and soil, and can enter homes through cracks in the foundation or walls. Long-term exposure to radon gas can increase the risk of lung cancer by up to 16%.

There is concern that not enough data is being collected on the health effects of radon gas. This is because radon gas is not routinely tested for in homes, and there is no national registry of radon-related illnesses.

As a result, it is difficult to track the number of people who are exposed to radon gas, and to determine the health risks associated with exposure.

Steps to Reduce Radon Gas Exposure

If you are concerned about radon gas exposure, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. These include:

• Testing your home for radon gas.
• Fixing any cracks in your foundation or walls.
• Installing a radon mitigation system.
