"Radon gas comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up thru the ground to the air above and into your home thru cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter your home from well water. Your home can then trap radon inside for you to breathe."
