"When Twa-le Abrahamson-Swan tested her Spokane, Washington, home for radon, she already knew about the dangers of the invisible, odorless radioactive gas.

The manager of the Spokane Tribe’s Air Quality Program knew radon is the top cause of lung cancer for non-smokers, higher even than second-hand smoke, and the second-highest lung cancer risk over all.

Radon is linked to as many as 21,000 of the nearly 160,000 lung-cancer deaths each year in the United States, and to about 20,000, or 16 percent, of lung-cancer deaths in Canada."
