Le radon est un gaz radioactif incolore, insipide et inodore du sol qui migre dans les bâtiments de tous types, tailles et âges. À mesure que le radon s’accumule dans les bâtiments, les occupants peuvent accroître le risque de cancer du poumon s’ils y sont exposés pendant de longues périodes prolongées. Le radon est la deuxième cause de cancer du poumon aux États-Unis, après le tabagisme, causant quelque 21 000 décès chaque année.
