Information About Radon All those rocks in the Rocky Mountains release harmful radon gas into the air as they decay naturally over time. Build your home on top of those rocks, and you could have problems.
Radon gas can seep up from the ground into your house and enter your lungs. Once inside your lungs, radon gives off radiation which can damage lung tissue and cause cancer. In fact, radon is second only to smoking as the leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Since you can't see, taste, or smell radon, you must get your home tested to determine if radon is present.
