Missouri Residents
Can Obtain Free Radon Test Kits
Radon is a
cancer-causing, radioactive gas. You can't see radon. And you can't smell it
or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home. Radon is estimated to
cause many thousands of deaths each year. That's because when you breathe
air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General
has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the
United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. If you
smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is
especially high.
Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from
radon. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the
third floor for radon. EPA also recommends testing in schools. Testing is
inexpensive and easy - it should only take a few minutes of your time.
Millions of Americans have already tested their homes for radon.
Missouri residents can obtain free radon test kits from the Missouri Radon
Program at 866-628-9891 or at
www.dhss.mo.gov/Radon.
