Most people know that smoking is the #1 cause of lung cancer — but very few people know what the second leading cause is.
In this episode of Talking With Docs, the doctors are joined by Dr. Chau to break down the surprising truth about radon gas — an invisible, odorless gas that can build up inside homes and increase the risk of lung cancer, even in people who have never smoked.
Because you can’t see it, smell it, or taste it, many people are exposed without even knowing it.
In this discussion, the doctors explain where radon comes from, why it can accumulate inside houses, how it damages lung tissue, and how simple home testing can help detect it.
You’ll learn:
- What radon gas is and where it comes from
- Why radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer worldwide
- Why radon exposure can occur inside homes
- How radon enters houses through soil and foundations
- Why you cannot detect radon without testing
- How radon exposure damages lung cells over time
- How to test your home for radon
- What radon levels are considered safe
- How radon mitigation systems remove the gas from homes
- Why prevention and awareness are critical
If you’ve never tested your home for radon or wondered how environmental factors affect lung cancer risk, this episode explains the science and what you can do to protect your health.
