Abstract
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is found in soil, rock, and water. Exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. This study aims to investigate the level of knowledge and awareness of the risks associated with radon exposure among the general public. An ad hoc cognitive survey was conducted, and the results showed that there is a lack of knowledge and awareness about radon. The majority of participants had never heard of radon, and those who had heard of it were not aware of its health effects. This study suggests that there is a need for increased public education and awareness campaigns on radon and its risks.
