LA CROSSE, Wis. - (WXOW) - An odorless, invisible gas could be affecting your family without you even knowing it. Given the amount of time everyone has been forced to stay in their homes recently, there may be long lasting effects.
Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that is naturally occurring and it comes from uranium. It breaks down through a decay process and it can enter homes through cracks and crevices in the foundation.
Registered Sanitarian Nicole Kragness said that this is dangerous because radon can cause lung cancer when exposed to it for long periods of time. If it s in your home, you are constantly being exposed.
