Radon
Radon is a colourless, odourless radioactive gas. It is formed from the radioactive decay of the small amounts of uranium that occur naturally in all rocks and soils around the UK.
For most of us, our greatest exposure to radiation is through radon.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
