Radon can be a silent killer. In this video, Adel Zurob, M.D., a pulmonologist with Mayo Clinic Health System, explains the dangers of radon, a radioactive gas that is odorless, tasteless and invisible. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and it is estimated to be responsible for more than 20,000 deaths each year.
Dr. Zurob shares his expert advice on radon poisoning symptoms, the risks associated with long-term exposure, and what you can do to protect your family. He also discusses the importance of testing your home for radon and how to mitigate any levels that may be present.
Adel Zurob, M.D. is a physician in the Pulmonology and Critical Care Departments at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
