HANCOCK Radon can’t be seen, smelled, or tasted, but high levels of radon gas may be in residents’ homes, increasing their risk of lung cancer. Fortunately, testing is easy and high radon levels can be lowered. January is Radon Action Month and the Western UP Health Department offers free radon test kits. While test kits are available year around, the most accurate time to test is in the winter.
There are no warning symptoms to let you know you’re being exposed. It doesn’t cause headaches, nausea, fatigue, skin rashes, etc. The only way to know whether your home has a problem–or whether you are at risk–is to test.
