January is National Radon Action Month
Test Kits at Local Health Departments.
January is National Radon Action Month. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, and the leading cause among non-smokers. Radon is a gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock and may collect in your home. Testing your home is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk. During the month of January, residents of Waushara, Green Lake, Marquette and Portage Counties can buy a radon test kit for only $5 at your county health department.
