Radon Awareness

Radon, a gas that you can't see, smell or taste, may be found in your home at high enough levels to cause health issues for you and your family. The only sure way to know if you have radon gas in your home is to test for it. The Rockdale County Extension office has short term radon test kits available for $8.00 or you can order one on-line at www.fcs.uga.edu/radon for $10.00.

How Green Are You? Take the green quiz to determine what shade of green you are.
