January is National Radon Action Month as initiated by the EPA. Did you know that radon gas is the #2 leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., second only to cigarette smoking? The good news is that it is preventable by simply testing your home for the presence of radon gas. Because it is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, we don't know when we are being exposed to it and it is usually at its highest levels in the winter due to closed windows and doors.
Attention Mesa County Residents: Radon has been found in Mesa County!
Home radon test kits are available at the Mesa County Health Department for just $5. Contact the Mesa County Health Deparment at 970-683-6647 or visit them online at: www.health.mesacounty.us. Or check with your local health department for similar tests available in your area.
