Radon gas: it's in your home

Radon gas: it's in your home Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when the uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It is invisible, odourless and tasteless. When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces like homes, it can accumulate to high levels. High radon levels can be a risk to the health of you and your family. 2021-01-27 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyRadonradioactive gasbreakdown of uranium in soil and rockinvisibleodourless and tastelessoutdoor airenclosed spacesrisk to health Radon gas: it's in your homeHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/reports-publications/radiation/radon-your-home-health-canada-2009.html Radon gas: it's in your homeHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/sante-environnement-milieu-travail/rapports-publications/radiation/radon-votre-maison-sante-canada-2009.html
