Enemy within
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced when uranium, thorium and radium (compounds found across the UK) break down in soil, rock and water. It can build up in places where ventilation is inadequate, such as new buildings where it seeps through cracks in the foundations and becomes trapped due to heat-saving measures.
