 Types of Gases
RADON (Rn)
Radon is a radioactive, colourless, odourless gas which occurs naturally in the environment, and can migrate into any
building that is built over a source. If it accumulates in a building, it increases the risk of lung cancer for occupants. In 2009,
the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that radon is the cause of 15% of lung cancers worldwide.

CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)

Carbon Dioxide is toxic, odourless and colourless, and in high concentrations can result in asphyxiation. The gas is formed
by the oxidation of carbon compounds such as that which occurs in landfill sites. When CO2 levels reach a concentration
of 3%, symptoms of headaches and shortness of breath will occur; these become severe at 5%, at 7 - 10% will cause
suffocation and at 22% is fatal.

METHANE (CH4)
An odourless flammable gas that is explosive when released
into the atmosphere at levels as low as 5%, and exposed
to a source of ignition. Methane is formed where there is
below-ground degradation of organic substances e.g. landfill
sites, sewage treatment areas, mining operations and peat
bogs.
