Radon gas usually gets into buildings through cracks in the floor or basement walls. If enough gets in, the concentration gets high enough that the radon gas becomes dangerous and will increase your risk of developing lung cancer.
That's why ventilation is key!
Properly venting radon gas out of your home keeps the radon concentration below dangerous limits. That's why, even if you do have radon gas in your home, you can do something about it (sealing cracks is important, as well). Simply vent, whether by upgrading a professional ventilation system or keeping more windows open. Let the fresh air in.
Heck, even if you don't have a radon gas problem, a well ventilated house is so much nicer than a stuffy one. And healthier.
