Radon in Tennessee

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soils.  Radon gas is tasteless, colorless and odorless.  Radon gas has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoking.  Radon is responsible for about 20,000 lung cancer deaths every year.  The only way to know if it is in your home is to test for it.
