The health risks associated with radon gas increase during the winter months due to lack of ventilation and increased time spend indoors.

A recent study released by the Health Protection Agency in Great Britain has also linked exposure to radon gas to squamous cell carcinoma, a non-malignant form of skin cancer.

Radon gas causes over 21,000 lung cancer deaths annually in the U.S. During National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the American Lung Association encourages Americans to test for this potentially deadly radioactive gas.
