Radon Gas Risk in the National Press: The Daily Mail

Radon is a colourless, odourless gas that can seep into buildings from the ground and build up indoors without any obvious signs. Long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer, especially for people who smoke, which is why health bodies treat radon as a serious indoor air quality issue.​

Recent national coverage has shown how some parts of the UK are at higher risk from radon and why more homeowners are being urged to check their properties. This kind of reporting is a useful reminder that testing (link to RPUK test kit) is the only way to know if your home has raised radon levels. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-15298823/odourless-gas-radon-home-lung-cancer-areas-risk-map-steps.html

The positive news is that radon can be measured and reduced. Simple tests will show whether levels are low or high, and if action is needed there are proven mitigation systems that can lower radon and improve indoor air quality. Radon Protection UK works with homeowners, landlords and businesses to test for radon and install effective solutions, helping to make buildings safer for the long term.​
