Whatever the smell is, you can be rest assured that it’s not radon gas.

That’s because the gas surpasses the human senses is odourless, colourless, and tasteless.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause among smokers.

What’s most alarming is that this dangerous gas can accumulate in your home undetected.

Here’s another fact: hardly anyone seems to know about it.

I was doing some research on radon recently.

Part of this included calling local home improvement stores to see if they had radon test kits.

I was surprised, and perhaps not so surprised, that some of them had no idea what I was even talking about!
