Canadian Medical Association (CMA): Radon's Cancer Risks

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has released a fact sheet discussing the association between radon gas and cancer. Considering that "radon exposure is linked to approximately 10% of lung cancers in Canada and is the second leading cause of lung cancer for smokers", the CMA urges homeowners to ensure all entrances and windows are properly sealed. Not only will this prevent radon from seeping into homes, it will also improve ventilation. Consult the fact sheet for additional information
