January is national Radon Action Month.

Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible, odorless gas that is harmlessly dispersed in outdoor air, but when trapped in buildings, it can be harmful at elevated levels. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer and present in elevated levels in about 50 percent of area homes. The only way for residents to know if they have an elevated level in their home is to test. Winter is the best time to test for radon. STAFF REPORT
