Very simply, radon is an odorless, colorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Unless you test for it, you don't know if your home is safe.
January is Radon Awareness Month, and in Livingston County, most municipalities (Cities, Villages and Townships) are offering free radon testing kits. These are 7 day samples, and they are easy to use.
If your radon levels are above EPA recommended values, there are ways to mitigate your exposure. Call your local government office to see if they have free kits. If none are available, call the Livingston County Health Department at 517-546-9851.
