What You Should Know About Radon
Radon is an odorless gas that can enter your home through your water supply. Long-term exposure to certain levels of radon can cause lung cancer.
Testing for radon in water is easy and affordable. Radon test kits are available online or at your local home improvement store for $20 or less.
