When was the last time you tested your home for radon gas? It is recommended to test every two to five years to ensure you and your loved ones are safe from elevated levels of radon. Don’t put this off! Exposure to radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Test your living space today and address any high radon levels. Reducing radon levels is possible with a professionally installed system and often costs less than many other home repairs. Test. Fix. Save a life. #NationalRadonActionMonthWSU Environmental Finance Center

Radon is a radioactive gas that is produced through the natural radioactive decay of uranium found in rock, soil, and water. Low levels of uranium occur naturally throughout Earth's crust, and radon can be found in all 50 states. If you're looking for a meaningful New Year's Resolution, consider testing your home for radon. It's a great way to protect your family this year. January is #NationalRadonActionMonth, and you can learn more at sosradon.org.

Did you know that radon is a natural gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless? Unless you test for it, there's no way to know how much is present in your home. You've taken down the lights and put away the decorations, but have you tested your home for radon? There's no better time than #NationalRadonActionMonth to do so! Learn more at sosradon.org.

Radon is often referred to as "the silent killer" because it causes more than 21,000 deaths each year and is the leading cause of cancer among non-smokers. The good news is that lung cancer caused by radon is completely preventable. You can protect your home with a radon test and a radon mitigation system, both of which are surprisingly easy and more affordable than you might think!
