3,000 Free Radon Kits Offered To North Carolina Residents

A odorless colorless gas in your home could be extremely deadly.  I am talking about radon.  You would never know it is there unless you have some sort of detection device. 3,000 free radon kits are being offered to North Carolina residents thanks  to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. So, how does radon get in your house to begin with? Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from a natural decay of uranium that is found in most soils.  The gas can seep in a home through the foundation.  And radon is one of the leading causes of lung cancer for non smokers.  It is bad stuff. To learn more about the free radon testing program check out details from ABC right here. January is National Radon Awareness month. So it is great that 3,000 free radon kits are being offered to North Carolina residents.
