Radon Health Risks:

When cells are damaged, they are repaired or destroyed. Damage of genetic material can result in varying forms of mutation due to the changes in information carried by DNA. Cell mutations have varying capabilities. They may not necessarily affect the cellular functions, may kill the cell or can allow the cell to reproduce without constraint and subsequently invade and damage areas reserved for other cells. It is the uncontrolled replication of mutated cells that increases the likelihood for further mutations.
