Radon testing is especially important in homes with young children because children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of radon exposure. Their lungs are still developing, and they tend to have faster breathing rates than adults, which means they inhale more air—and potentially more radon—relative to their body size. Prolonged exposure to radon increases the risk of lung cancer over time, and starting prevention early can significantly reduce this risk. Testing and mitigating radon in your home ensures a healthier environment for your children’s long-term well-being.
