Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that results from the breakdown of uranium. Because it is a gas, it can leak into homes through the basement or crawl space or through well water.
Radon gas enters the home naturally through the soil foundation.
Radon gas decays into radioactive particles that can get trapped in lungs while breathing. These particles release bursts of energy that can damage lung tissue and lead to lung cancer. We want to help people who care about clean indoor air in their home, so we're offering a free radon test kit to people who stop by our State Fair booth.
