Health Risk of Radon | US EPA

Radon isn’t a myth—it’s literally on the periodic table (element 86, a noble gas). It’s colorless, odorless, and radioactive, formed when uranium in soil breaks down. When you breathe it in, those particles stick to your lungs and release radiation that damages cells over time. That’s why radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking.
