Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America, claiming 20,000 lives each year.
Because you can't see, smell or taste radon, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has declared January as Radon Action Month to encourage Americans to test their homes for radon - the only way to know if there is a harmful level of the gas in your home.
Getting a radon Test Kit is easy. Most home improvement and hardware stores carry them at inexpensive prices and many state health departments give them out free of charge.
