As a lifetime nonsmoker, 65-year-old Kerri Robbins didn't understand her diagnosis of lung cancer. When she called one of the doctors at Huntsman Cancer Institute, Dr. Wallace Akerley asked her a question that would give her new purpose: Have you had your house checked for radon? She’d never even heard of it. But her home in Lehi, Utah, scored high and she’d found her future killer. Now she wants to spend the rest of her life teaching others about it. What is radon?: Radon gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It’s not humanmade; it’s naturally occurring. It seeps up from the ground and dissipates, so folks are generally protected outdoors, but with well-built homes that aren’t leaky, radon gets trapped in houses, said Akerley. Because it’s inhaled, the lungs take the brunt. Read more about how there are an estimated 20,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. per year and Robbins' message to others about radon and cancer.
