Hartford The Connecticut State Department of Public Health (DPH) is encouraging Connecticut residents to test their homes for radon gas, the leading environmental cause of cancer mortality. Health officials estimate that radon is responsible for more than 21,100 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States. Radon measurement and mitigation, when needed, is especially important at this time as the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many adults and children spending more time in the lower levels of their homes with telework and distance learning, where radon levels can be higher. Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas formed from the natural decay of uranium, and is found in rock, soil, and water. While radon in outdoor air poses a relatively low risk to human health, it can enter homes from the surrounding soil and become a health hazard inside buildings.
