    4. Ep. 74 | Radon Poison in the air of your Home

      Radon is a tasteless, odorless, invisible gas found in every home. This radioactive gas is produced by the breakdown of uranium in the earth's crust. It's the #1 cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the #2 cause of lung cancer behind smoking. Radon seeps into your living space through holes and cracks in your home’s foundation. Unseen, unheard, and unknown without proper testing. Hear from expert and special guest Lawrence Belland about how it can be present in your home and what to do about it.
