You cannot see, smell, or taste radon but it can be deadly to your health. According to the EPA it is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. It is easy to test for radon and everyone should probably do it. The EPA has a good website that explains all the facts about radon including how to test for it and mitigate it if necessary.
