Radon occurs naturally from the decay of uranium in the soil and can accumulate to dangerous levels inside the home. Elevated levels of the colorless, odorless gas are the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Test your home’s radon level by getting a radon test kit for $8.50 from the New York State Department of Health.
