Radon Exposure at Home: What You Need to Know About Radon Gas

What Is Radon?

Radon is a natural radioactive gas. It forms when uranium in soil and rocks breaks down. And here’s the alarming part: uranium is found almost everywhere. You don’t need to live near a mine or industrial area. Even regular soil in residential neighborhoods across Malaysia can contain trace amounts of uranium, enough to generate radon gas.

How Does Radon Enter Your Home?

This gas rises from the ground and can seep into buildings through cracks in floors, walls, and foundations, even through your water supply. If your home is built over soil or rock with any uranium content, it is vulnerable.

 

Once inside, radon gets trapped, and that is when it becomes dangerous.

The Health Risk: Lung Cancer

When radon gas is inhaled, it decays into tiny radioactive particles. These particles stick to the lining of your lungs, damaging your cells. Over time, this damage can lead to lung cancer.

​

According to the World Health Organization, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
