Milton residents urged to address radon levels: free webinar on testing and mitigation to take place Jan. 28

What is Radon?

• Radon is a radioactive gas that comes naturally from soil and rocks.
• Radon can move from the ground into your home through cracks and holes in the foundation or from private well water.

Health Effects Associated with Radon:

• Radon can build up inside your house and can potentially cause lung cancer if you breathe it in over many years.
• Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among people who don’t smoke.

What Can I Do about Radon in My Home?

• Test your home and well water and then mitigate if there is a problem
• It costs about $1,000-$1,500 to rid an average home of radon
