Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that results from the decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and groundwater. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and can accumulate in enclosed spaces, such as basements and homes.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies radon exposure as a leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers.
In Maryland, the pre-licensing course emphasizes that while radon testing is not mandatory, sellers and licensees have a duty to disclose known environmental hazards to buyers.
