Frequently Asked Questions
11. Can exposure to radon lead to lung
cancer?
Exposure to radon can put a person at risk for lung cancer, too.
People who work in mines may be exposed to this invisible,
odorless, and radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil and
rocks. It is also found in houses in some parts of the country. A
kit available at most hardware stores allows homeowners to measure
radon levels in their homes.
