High levels of radon exposure can increase your risk of developing lung cancer. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless and odorless. This means you wonโt know itโs there unless you test.

You have two options: purchase an EPA-approved radon test kit to use yourself, or hire a professional to conduct the test. Test kits are typically available at hardware or home improvement stores.
