Radon Safety
Radon is a colorless and odorless gas found in the soil and common throughout Minnesota. Because soil is porous, radon moves u from the soil and into the home. The gas can accumulate in the air we breathe becoming a health concern.
Radon gas decays into small particles that are radioactive and when we inhale these small particles they can damage the lung. Exposure to radon over a long period of time can lead to lung cancer. In Minnesota, more than two in five homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk.
Minnesota Department of Health recommends all Minnesotans test their home for radon. A radon test is the only way to find out how much radon is in your home. You can test your home yourself or hire a licensed professional. The result from a properly performed test will help you decide if you need to reduce your home’s radon levels.
