Radon: An Invisible Gas, a Real Risk

Did you know that some homes may contain radon, a natural, invisible, and odorless gas? When it accumulates indoors, it can increase the risk of lung cancer. 

What to do? 

  • Test your home with a radon detector (in the basement or on the ground floor). 
  • Leave the detector in place for at least 3 months and send the results to the laboratory. 
  • Take action if needed: improve ventilation, seal cracks, or install professional radon reduction systems. 

Good to know 

  • Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, especially dangerous for non-smokers and when combined with smoking. 
  • The recommended safety level is 200 Bq/m³

The Village of Senneville encourages you to protect your family by testing your home and taking the necessary measures.
