State encourages people to test homes for radon
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers in the United States. Idaho is one of the worst states when it comes to high levels of Radon in homes. Which is why the Idaho Dept. of Health and Welfare wants homeowners to test their home for the radioactive gas.
“Everyone should test their home for radon because you do not know if you have high levels unless you do test,” said Jim Faust with the dept. of health and welfare.
Currently, tests are only $9.95, normally the costs is about $40 the tests include shipping and a lab analysis. If you are interested in getting your home tested, sign up for a kit at www.radonidaho.org.
