🛑 RADON: The HIDDEN RISK IN YOUR HOME
Most people have never heard of radon—or don’t realize how serious it actually is.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that comes from the ground and can build up inside homes without you ever knowing. You can’t see it, smell it, or feel it.
👉 The only way to know if it’s in your home is to test for it.

When you breathe radon, it breaks down into radioactive particles that:
Get trapped in your lungs
Damage lung tissue at the cellular level
