Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, taste or smell.  It can move up through the ground and into a home through cracks and holes in the foundation.  Radon can also get into indoor air when released from tap water from showering, washing dishes, and other household activities.  It is a known human carcinogen.  Breathing radon can lead to lung cancer.  Drinking water containing radon may cause an increased risk of stomach cancer.  Presently EPA is reviewing a standard for radon in water.
