Description
🇺🇸You like artificial intelligence; here are ways to use it positively! We inform you and your loved ones about what radon gas is.
Radon is a radioactive, colorless, and odorless gas that forms naturally when uranium, thorium, or radium—radioactive metals found in rocks, soil, and groundwater—break down. It can seep into homes and buildings through cracks and gaps in foundations, accumulating to levels that pose health risks. 
Health Risks:
Prolonged exposure to elevated radon levels increases the risk of lung cancer. In the United States, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths annually. 
Detection and Mitigation:
Testing is the only way to determine radon levels in indoor environments. Homeowners are encouraged to test their residences, especially in areas known for higher radon concentrations. If elevated levels are detected, mitigation measures such as improving ventilation, sealing foundation cracks, and installing specialized systems can effectively reduce radon concentrations.
