Radon gas is becoming a growing worry for many building occupants. In this course, we explore our current understanding of this common, omnipresent radioactive gas, the reasons behind its tendency to build up in our structures and the health risks it poses to inhabitants. Then we discuss known, effective measures for reducing our rising exposure to it.
