Governor Roy Cooper has proclaimed January as Radon Action Month to raise the public’s awareness of radon, promote testing and mitigation for radon, and reduce the risk of lung cancer from radon. Testing is the only way to know if you or your family is at risk, and residents can order a free test kit, while supplies last, at radon.ncdhhs.gov. Read our featured blog post and radon PSA to learn how you can reduce your risk in WNC.

Radon occurs naturally all across Western North Carolina, and can pose serious health risks. Learn more about your radon risks by visiting the North Carolina Radon Program website.
