What radon is and who should test

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that you cannot see or smell. It comes from the soil as uranium and radium break down.

Homes in the Twin Cities are prone to high radon levels because of the uranium and radium in the region. That makes the test worth considering for buyers, sellers and current owners alike.

The truth about radon

You can't see it or smell it, and it's the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. In this video from the Minnesota Department of Health, Bonnie shares her story of lung cancer and radon.

Why test

Radon has been linked to lung cancer, and it is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.

Radon can be mitigated, but you have to know whether a home has a radon issue before you can do anything about it.

No home is radon proof, even new construction. The first step toward peace of mind is scheduling the test.
