Why is radon dangerous?

Studies have shown a direct link between exposure to high concentrations of radon gas and lung cancer.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has hypothesized that radon gas is responsible for around 15% of worldwide lung cancer cases, and has recently launched a new project whose aim is to educate people about the dangers of the gas.

According to health experts, approximately 20,000 Americans and 20,000 Europeans die each year from lung cancer caused by radon gas.
