January is radon awareness month! A limited number of test kits are available at the Scott County Health Department on a first come, first served basis to Scott County Residents only. You must come to pick up the test kit, no holds- only 1 per family. Once the local supply is exhausted or if other community members are interested, you may order one from VDH for a $4 shipping fee.

The EPA and VDH advise testing every home, as high levels can appear anywhere in Virginia, even in designated "low risk" areas.

For more information, or to order a kit, visit: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/radiological-health/indoor-radon-program/
