This physiological stress on the cells of deep lung tissue is small but over time it builds and the damage to lung tissue accumulates. According to the Surgeon General's office and the EPA at least 20,000 American's die every year due to lung cancer caused by radon. Those are the people who die. There are even more people with suffering lung health and some surviving while breathing air from oxygen tanks.
