Does radon gas cause cancer?

Studies show that exposure to high concentrations of radon significantly increases the chance of developing lung cancer.

As a result, governments and health organizations in the United States, the European Union, and Canada have taken steps to educate their citizens about the dangers of radon in the home.

Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recently implemented a new project aimed at reaching people around the world and curbing the number of easily preventable deaths that occur from radon-induced lung cancer each year.
