Radon Toxicity

Radon toxicity is one of the leading causes of lung cancers in non-smokers. Its pulmonary carcinogenicity is well established in mining studies and it is a public health concern due to potential residential exposure. It is a radioactive gas that is naturally occurring in the environment and can be found in homes. Radon gas is derived from the radioactive decay of radium, which is found in rock and soil. Due to its long half-life, it can diffuse into homes, usually through basements. It is a tasteless, odorless, colorless gas, and causes no obvious symptoms of exposure. It is important to understand how to surveil within a home and prevent, diagnose, and treat after exposure. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of radon toxicity and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and improving care for patients exposed to radon.
