Cross-Canada Survey of Radon Concentrations in Homes - Final Report

Cross-Canada Survey of Radon Concentrations in Homes - Final Report Radon is a radioactive gas that is found naturally throughout our environment. It is produced by the decay of uranium found in rocks and soil. Since radon is a gas, it can move freely through the soil enabling it to escape into the atmosphere or seep into buildings. Radon is invisible, odourless and tasteless, but can be easily measured with a radon detector. 2021-01-27 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyRadonradioactive gasnational radon programreducing radonlung cancer riskradon testingradon detectorhealth risk Cross-Canada Survey of Radon Concentrations in Homes - Final ReportHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/reports-publications/radiation/cross-canada-survey-radon-concentrations-homes-final-report-health-canada-2012.html Cross-Canada Survey of Radon Concentrations in Homes - Final ReportHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/sante-environnement-milieu-travail/rapports-publications/radiation/enquete-pancanadienne-concentrations-radon-habitations-rapport-final-sante-canada-2012.html
