Radon is Real

In 2018, an estimated 154,050 Americans will die from lung cancer [1]. While many of them are current or former tobacco users, approximately 30,000 individuals will have never smoked or used any form of tobacco [2]. So, how did these people, who had taken a significant precaution, develop lung cancer? According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to radon gas was the primary culprit.
