Meet your “radioactive roommate”: it is colorless, tasteless and odorless, enjoys the atmosphere of enclosed spaces, enters easily into buildings and puts our health at risk. It can be found everywhere, but prefers the poorly-ventilated underground spaces. Named as radon, lives with us, without being perceived. It is considered to be one of the main causes of lung cancer worldwide. We can eliminate it by applying simple, practical advice to our homes. The Greek Atomic Energy Commission introduces the “radioactive roommate” and answers your questions related to radon.
