The only way to you can tell if your home has a radon problem is to test it. Testing is easy to do and most kits are very inexpensive, costing between $6.00 and $25. You can find them at hardware stores and through the West Central Radon Information center at the Clark County Health Department.
Last year, 17 homes in Clark County were tested for Radon; four of those homes had elevated levels. For more information, you can contact the Clark County health Department 715-743-5105.
