What is radon?
No smell. No colour.
Radon is a radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can enter homes through foundations and crawlspaces, where it can remain airborne for several days and reach elevated indoor concentrations. Higher radon concentrations, coupled with prolonged exposure, can significantly increase the risk of developing lung cancer.
40%+
of Manitoba homes tested in the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey were at or above the guideline.
3,200
lung cancer deaths in Canada each year are linked to radon, the second leading cause after smoking and the leading cause in non-smokers.
Although radon levels vary by location, even neighbouring buildings can have significantly different concentrations. Testing is the only way to know your radon levels. Mitigation is recommended when radon levels exceed Health Canada’s guideline of 200 Bq/m³. However, reducing radon levels below this threshold can further reduce the risk of lung cancer.
