Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and can also cause damaging effects to the human DNA structure.

Radon is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Naturally existing, low levels of uranium occur widely in Earth's crust. It can be found in all 50 states.

Radon rises through the soil and gets trapped under the building. The trapped gases build up pressure. Air pressure inside homes is usually lower than the pressure in the soil. Therefore, the higher pressure under the building forces gases though floors and walls and into the building.

When the ground produces radon, it can dissolve and accumulate in water from underground sources (called ground water), such as wells.
