Why Address Radon Gas in Ottawa?
Health Risks of Radon Exposure
Radon exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the World Health Organization. While radon is present in low concentrations outdoors due to atmospheric mixing, it can accumulate to dangerous levels indoors. Prolonged exposure to high radon gas levels increases the risk of respiratory issues, especially for those with underlying health conditions.
