What is radon?

Radon is an element that is widely known for its potential to cause cancer. It is the heaviest gas known to man, with a density roughly nine times greater than that of air. It is usually found in soil and rocks, though it can also be found in water. Fortunately, radon detectors are commonly available that allow you to test your home for elevated radon levels.
