Is radon-related to lung cancer fatal?
Most often, yes. Lung cancer is a disease that has a very poor survival rate. Prevention is the most effective defense. Don’t smoke and don’t breathe elevated concentrations of radon. • How Does Radon Enter A Home? Radon can seep into a home through dirt floors, cracks and pores in concrete walls and floors, hollow-block walls, joints, drains pipes, and sump pumps. Building supplies made from materials containing uranium are rarely a significant source of residential radon.
