Did you know that January is National Radon Action Month? Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the USA, after tobacco smoke. It kills nearly 22,000 people each year, 600 of them in Georgia. Radon is an odorless, invisible and tasteless gas released by the natural decay of uranium in our soils and rocks that easily enters our homes through the foundations and well water. Test your home today! You can prevent and reduce entry of radon into your home!

Complete our Radon Test Homeowners Agreement Form and bring it one of your Fulton County Cooperative Extension office to receive a free radon test for your home.
