Radon and Ventilation – How They Are Connected

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas formed when uranium in bedrock or certain building materials breaks down. Because it can easily seep into indoor environments, radon levels are strongly influenced by how homes and buildings are ventilated. Understanding the link between radon and ventilation is therefore essential to preventing health risks and ensuring safe indoor air quality, whether in private…
