Radon exposure does not directly cause asthma attacks, but high radon concentration can be detrimental to health, leading to inflamed or irritable air passageways. There is no evidence that asthma is caused by radon exposure. However, exposure to secondhand smoke can lead to asthma attacks.
Radon in the air can further break into tiny radioactive elements that can lodge in the lining of the lungs releasing radiation directly to the tissues and damaging its cells. The accelerated deterioration of the lung tissues can have a serious impact on someone struggling with a respiratory illness, such as asthma.
How Does Air Quality Affect Asthma?
Pollutants in the air can have the same effect on kids with asthma as other triggers. They irritate the airways, making them swell and tighten up, and cause breathing problems.

Pollutants can also make kids more likely to catch upper respiratory infections (like colds), which can bring on asthma symptoms. If allergens in the air are an asthma trigger, pollutants can make the lungs even more sensitive to them.
