Homes with high levels of radon can be fixed. Talk with the seller of the home about having the home mitigated. The brochure can also be viewed at EPA's Radon Publications Web Page . If you are building a new home, you can have your builder incorporate radon-resistant construction techniques into your home. Many state and local building codes already require these measures to be taken in all new home construction.
Schools are at risk from radon just as homes are.
EPA recommends that schools nationwide be tested.
