You cannot see, taste or smell radon, but at elevated levels indoors, it can pose a significant health risk. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive ra-dioactive gas that can be emitted from surrounding soil into the home. Any soil anywhere can contain con-tain radon. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General have recommended that all residences (except those above the second floor) be tested for radon.
