Breathing in excessive amounts of radon can cause cancer. Exposure or contact with mold can irritate your eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs and in some instances trigger severe allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Before you start to panic, take a deep breath and relax.
One of the serious threats linked with radon gas inhalation is lung cancer. In fact, recent studies have highlighted the fact that radon gas inhalation kills nearly 20,000 individuals in the United States every year. The irony lies in the fact that the signs of radon gas poisoning are not clearly obvious. Small amount of radon can be easily absorbed by our body without the presence of noticeable symptoms. Once inside the body, the radon breaks down into lead that penetrates into our lungs. Subsequently, one falls prey to lung cancer with passing days. Almost anyone out there can get affected by radon gas.
