Long-term radon gas exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States and the leading cause among nonsmokers.

The following is a breakdown of how radon exposure poses health risks, including the risk of lung cancer:

Radon releases a type of radiation known as particle radiation.

After breathing radon, particle radiation damages the DNA in cells in the lung tissue.

The damage to our lungs is so significant that the body's natural repair processes are unable to deal with it effectively.

This results in potentially damaging genetic alterations, increasing the likelihood of those lung cells becoming cancerous. The more radon we are exposed to, the more mutations occur and the greater our risk of developing lung cancer.
