Radon is the Second Leading Cause of Lung Cancer – Has Your Home Been Tested?

Do you know if your home has elevated levels of radon?  Radon is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that causes no immediate health symptoms, but long-term exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Iowa has the highest percentage of homes with elevated radon levels in the nation. 

Test kits are simple to use and inexpensive. Siouxland District Health Department, 1014 Nebraska St, is offering radon test kits for $5 each to walk-ins. 

For more information about radon and how to test your home, click here.
