What is radon and where does it come from?

Our company also provides air quality assessments, asbestos removal, and mold remediation services in Cherry Hill, NJ.Can radon affect me?
Radon gas can indeed affect your health. As it decays, it produces radioactive particles that can adhere to dust or smoke in the air. When inhaled, these particles can settle in your lungs and continue emitting alpha radiation. The United States EPA has identified prolonged exposure to high radon levels as the second leading cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking.
