The Federal Government has declared January as National Radon Action Month.
The Enviromental Protection Agency along with The American Lung Association, Centers For Disease Control, and The National Cancer Institute wants everyone to be aware that radon is a real threat and the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
Radon is a naturally-occuring, invisible and odorless gas and one in every 15 homes contains high levels of radon gas. Millions of people are exposed to this dangerous gas.
It caused more fatalities last year than carbon monoxide, fires, and handguns combined.
If your home hasn't been tested in the last two years, the Surgeon General and the EPA urge you to take action.
