If a home has high levels of radon, there are simple and relatively low cost ways to reduce the radon levels. If you are a single family home owner in the Maine towns of Rumford, Mexico, Dixfield, or Peru, you can receive a free test kit at your Town Office or Fire Station between November 12-17, 1996. The kits will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Residents will be notified of their results individually by mail. The results will be completely confidential.
Radon testing is easy and inexpensive.
If you are not a resident of Rumford, Mexico, Dixfield, or Peru, or were unable to get a test kit from the NOCC, test kits are widely available. Test kits can be purchased from many hardware or home supply stores. Follow the instructions that come with the test kit. After use, test kits should be immediately mailed to the lab specified on the test kit. Results will be sent to you in a few weeks.
