If you had your home tested and discovered the presence of radon, you need to take steps to ensure that the level is below the EPA's recommendation of 4 pCi/L. If the current levels are not at or below this level, you will likely need to speak with a radon removal or mitigation company in your area.
Radon can cause a range of problems. Because it's a radioactive gas, it's able to travel through the air, attaching to various particles such as dust. Mitigation systems can decrease the amount of radon in your home.

According to the EPA, radon gas is a major health risk for anyone exposed to it. In fact, it's the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Radon is a natural gas that forms out of the uranium present in the soil and water across the United States. Because it's without odor or color, it's almost impossible to spot for homeowners, leading to extended exposure that can increase your health risks.
The EPA recommends a mitigation system for radon levels higher than 2.0 pCi/L. Levels higher than 4.0 pCi/L post significant risk and need immediate remediation. Try to test your home's levels in winter when radon is most prevalent.
