January is National Radon Action Month. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among non smokers in the U.S.

Radon builds up inside homes and workplaces anywhere. You can't see it or smell it. Testing is the only way to know your risk.

The EPA recommends action if radon levels reach 4 pCi/L or higher. Testing helps you decide if a radon reduction system is needed to protect your household or workforce.

Take action this month. Learn how to test and prevent radon exposure at https://ow.ly/uem650XQM8V
