Test your home for radon

Did you know that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., and it could be in your home? Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that comes from the ground and can accumulate in homes, posing serious health risks.

The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that homes with radon levels of four picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher should be mitigated.

Testing is especially important in Antelope, Boyd, Knox and Pierce counties, where residents may be at higher risk due to geographic factors.

Don't wait; take action this January during National Radon Action Month.
