“January is National Radon Action Month”
Radon is a naturally occurring, cancer causing radioactive gas. Radon can be found everywhere in the US. When found in houses, schools, building, high levels of radon pose a potential health risk to the occupants.
The good news is that high levels of radon found in building can be migrated. The first step is to test, then fix.
To learn about radon, testing and fixing I recommend starting at the EPA Radon website:
