Radon Gas – a cause of lung cancer in the UK

Properteco.co.uk has created an infographic describing the major causes of this radon gas and essential tips on how to avoid getting affected by this gas. It also guides you to buy a special test kit which is inexpensive and easily available online.

There are no symptoms of radon exposure, therefore, it is vital that testing is carried out in properties at risk of containing elevated levels. Exposure to radon is responsible for over 1100 lung cancer deaths each year in the UK yet many of these deaths could have been avoided if testing had been carried out and high radon levels reduced prior to occupants receiving high doses of radiation.
