What is radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas — the second leading cause of lung cancer in the UK, responsible for around 1,100 deaths each year. It's invisible and odourless; the only way to know your home's level is to test.

Radon seeps from uranium in the ground, through cracks in foundations, and accumulates indoors. Concentrations vary hugely depending on local geology — some postcodes have 30x the national average.
