Where does radon actually come from? 🛑
It’s not man-made—radon is a radioactive gas formed naturally when uranium breaks down in the soil beneath our homes. As it decays, it travels up through the earth and finds its way into basements and crawlspaces. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it, but high levels can pose a serious long-term health risk.
