Airborne Radon causes over 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year in the United States. Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you cannot see, smell or taste. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America.

Radon is easy to detect and relatively easy to control. Radon test kits for homeowners are easy to use and provide accurate readings of home radon levels.

The U.S. EPA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that homes with radon levels of 4 pCi/L (picoCurries per liter of air) or higher pose a danger and should be addressed by an experienced contractor. For help in finding a contractor near you, visit EPA's radon website (http://www.epa.gov/iaq/radon) and click on “find a qualified radon service professional.”

During a Healthy Home Survey conducted by the Indoor Air Alliance, the IAA Technician will have a home radon tests kit available for purchase.
