Can you see, feel, smell, or taste radon?

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Because of these properties, individuals are unable to detect radon through any of the typical human senses. This means that none of the sensory experiences such as seeing, feeling, smelling, or tasting apply to radon.

To accurately assess radon levels, specialized detection tools and equipment are necessary. These devices can measure radon concentrations in the air or water, enabling identification of potential radon issues in homes and buildings.
