Radon Causes Lung Cancer.
Radon, a radioactive decay product of uranium, is a colorless, odorless gas that can seep into your home.

Radon is inhaled and its radioactive decay products remain stuck to the lung tissue.

Radon and its decay products emit alpha particles -- striking lung cells and causing chemical and physical damage to DNA.

Radon is estimated to cause 21,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths per year.
