5 Radon Myths Debunked: Separating Fact from Fiction
Many Ontario homeowners skip radon testing because of common myths. This post debunks the biggest misconceptions and explains the facts you need to know.
The radio active decay of uranium produces radium, which in turn decays to Radon, a radiocative colourless and odourless gas. Because it’s a gas, it can move easily through bedrock and soil and escape into the outdoor air or seep into a home or building. All soil contains uranium, so Radon is present in all types of soils. Radon that moves from the ground to the outdoor is rapidly diluted to low concentrations and is not a health concern.
