Did you know? Radon, a tasteless, odourless, and colourless gas, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada—and the leading cause for people who do not smoke!

Radon can quietly build up in your home, but you can take control. Lung Saskatchewan’s new, interactive radon web-tool helps you explore radon levels in your area, understand how your lifestyle might influence exposure, and quickly order your own test.

Features include:

🔹 View local radon levels on an easy-to-use map
🔹 Check your postal code for area-specific information
🔹 Learn how time spent at home may affect exposure
🔹 Order a home radon test quickly and easily

This tool is for informational purposes only; it cannot tell you your personal risk. The only way to know your radon level is to test your home.

Developed with support from the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation - SHRF.

As the snowstorm clears and cleanup begins, it’s a good time to check in on your home’s safety ❄️🏠

Snow and ice can block furnace vents, air intakes, and chimneys, which may cause carbon monoxide to build up indoors. Take a few minutes to make sure all vents are clear and working properly.

Be aware of common signs of carbon monoxide exposure, including:
▪️ Headache
▪️ Dizziness
▪️ Nausea
▪️ Shortness of breath
▪️ Confusion or fatigue
