No smell, no colour, no symptoms. A test kit is the only way to know, and it costs about the same as a takeaway.
The bigger picture
Air is the part of lung health you can actually engineer. Age and genes are fixed; what you breathe at home is not. Attention to radon at home works for you every hour of the day, silently, which is more than any product can say.
Where it comes from
Uranium in rock and soil decays to radon, which seeps through foundation cracks. Levels differ from one house to the next, even next door, and are highest in basements and ground floors.
Testing
Short-term kits sit for a few days and go to a lab by post. Long-term kits average over ninety days. The EPA action level is 4 picocuries per litre; it suggests considering action above 2.
Fixing it
A certified installer fits a pipe and fan that pull gas from under the slab and vent it above the roof. Most systems cut levels sharply within a day.
Four things to try this week
- Test every home, whatever its age.
- Retest after renovations.
- Former smokers carry a multiplied radon risk.
- Ask for radon results when buying.
Mistakes we see often
- Assuming air that looks clean is clean.
- Choosing a purifier rated for a smaller room than yours.
- Covering smells with fragrance rather than ventilating.
- Leaving filters until airflow visibly drops.
Where Lungora fits
If radon at home brought you to this page, you are already doing the useful part, which is paying attention. Lungora can be a small piece of that attention. Thirty capsules a bottle, one a day, absorbed through digestion rather than the airway. It will never stand in for an inhaler, a prescription or a straight conversation with your doctor.
Turn our bottle around and you find: take one capsule daily with water; not for pregnant or nursing women or anyone under 18; consult a physician if you take medication; six ingredients, magnesium first at 80 mg. No supplement is FDA approved and ours claims no such thing. You can read more about Lungora ingredients and Lungora reviews on the Lungora site.
A seven-day start
Day one: check your local air quality index. Day two: find out how old your furnace or purifier filter is. Day three: buy a cheap hygrometer. Day four: run the extractor every time you cook. Day five: air the bedroom for ten minutes if the outdoor reading is good. Day six: vacuum with a HEPA machine. Day seven: note what changed. Progress on radon at home is built from steps this small.
When to see a doctor
Better air helps everyone, but a symptom still needs a proper look. A cough, wheeze or tight chest that persists after you have cleaned up your home's air, or eases on holiday and returns at home, is a pattern worth describing to your doctor. Sudden breathlessness, chest pain or blood in sputum need urgent care.
In brief: radon at home
- Radon is a radioactive gas that rises from the ground into buildings, and it is the second biggest cause of lung cancer after smoking.
- Where it comes from: start here.
- Fixing it: where small daily choices show up.
- A capsule such as Lungora is optional and comes after medical care, never instead of it.
Sixty days of cover
Add Lungora to the habits above. If it does not suit you, send it back. Terms on the Lungora official website.

Do HEPA purifiers work?
Yes for particles, when sized for the room. They do nothing for gases unless they carry a carbon stage.
Are candles bad for indoor air?
They release fine particles and volatile compounds. Occasional use with a window open is minor; nightly use in a shut room adds up.
Does Lungora detox the lungs?
No capsule can. Airways clean themselves. Lungora supports circulation, cellular energy and antioxidant defence around them.
