January Is National Radon Action Month

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated January as National Radon Action Month and encourages families to test their homes for Radon.  Radon is a radioactive gas and is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.  You can't see it, smell it or taste it and it can be found all over the U.S..  For more information on how to test your home for radon, visit http://www.epa.gov/
