What is Radon?
Radon is an invisible, radioactive gas created from natural deposits of uranium and radium in the soil. Radon gas can be drawn into a building and accumulate to concentrations that can increase the potential for contracting lung cancer. Although there are rare cases where the source of the radon has come from building materials created from spent-uranium processing plants, the major source of radon in Colorado homes comes from the natural deposits of uranium commonly found in Colorado geology. It is seldom caused by human intervention like other environmental concerns.
