Each January, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognizes National Radon Action Month to protect public health. This year, the agency is highlighting the importance of home radon testing as a vital step to protect your family’s health and help prevent lung cancer. Radon, a colorless and odorless radioactive gas, can build up inside a home if left untreated and pose serious health risks. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. The only way to know if radon is present in your home is to test for it.

Testing for radon is easy and inexpensive. Affordable do-it-yourself radon test kits are available online and at most home improvement and hardware stores. Some states and municipalities even provide at-home radon test kits for free. You can also hire a qualified radon professional to test your home. Contact your state or Tribal radon program to learn more about radon services in your area.

Take action today to protect your family. Test. Fix. Save a life.

You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.

This Guide answers important questions about radon and lung cancer risk. It also
answers questions about testing and fixing for anyone buying or selling a home.
