Most homeowners take indoor air quality seriously. They replace HVAC filters on schedule, run air purifiers in bedrooms, and keep surfaces clean. Those habits address dust, allergens, and airborne particles. They do not address radon. Radon is invisible, odorless, and undetectable by any air purifier, filter, or cleaning routine. The only way to know whether

Basements are the most common finishing project in residential homes and one of the most popular living spaces for families who want extra room for a home office, a media area, or a guest suite. They are also consistently the room in the house with the highest radon concentrations. That combination — heavily used living

A result from several years ago does

Radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States annually, yet most people who have elevated radon levels in their homes have no idea. That is because radon exposure does not produce immediate symptoms. The gas itself does not cause coughing, burning, or any sensation that something is wrong. The health

Renters and owners in upper-floor apartments often assume that radon is not a concern above the ground floor. Radon forms in the soil and enters buildings from below, so the assumption is that distance from the ground provides protection. That assumption is only partially accurate, and in some building types, upper-floor units have tested at

Radon awareness has grown in recent years, but most information is written for homeowners. Renters face the same exposure risk.
