Radon Gas Information By: Heath Coker | - The Environmental Protection Agency has produced a brochure all about what radon is and how it affects people that we have excerpted here for reference. The whole publication can be read on the Environmental Protection Agency web site.
Radon comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the ground, granite and water. It dissipates from the ground into the air. A simple venting system is the easiestmost normal form of reduction.
