Radon is hazardous when it reaches high levels. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer and accounts for 1300 cases annually in Ontario. It is naturally found in the outdoor environment and is present inside most buildings and homes.
Seven percent of homes in Canada have high radon, and it can ONLY be detected by testing for it.
