January is Radon Action Month

It’s invisible. It’s odorless. It’s tasteless. It’s the number one cause of lung cancer for non-smokers in America. It may be in your home, and you wouldn’t even know it.

The good news is that if unsafe levels of radon are detected in your home, you can fix the problem. For this reason January is National Radon Action Month, to encourage people to test for radon. So make sure to take action and protect yourself and your loved ones from potential harmful radon exposure.
