RADON: THE BASICS
• Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium and radium break down in the soil and in rock formations. Radon gas moves up through the soil and finds its way into homes through cracks in the foundation and openings around pumps, pipes, and drains.
• Radon is invisible and odorless.
• Radon can be a serious health risk.
• Radon testing is easy, recommended, and inexpensive.
• If levels are elevated, homes can be mitigated to reduce radon levels.
For more information on radon, contact the NJDEP Radon Section at (800) 648-0294.
