Radon gas is a concern in many Utah homes because:

AUtah law prohibits radon testing
BRadon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas from uranium decay, can accumulate in buildings and cause lung cancer✓ Correct
CUtah's desert climate prevents radon formation
DRadon only occurs near the Great Salt Lake

Explanation

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium in soil and rocks. Utah's geology, particularly in the Wasatch Front and mountain areas, can produce elevated radon levels. The EPA recommends mitigation if levels exceed 4 pCi/L.
