January is National Radon Action Month, and Radon Awareness Week is from January 27 to 31.

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can seep into homes and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The good news? Testing your home is simple and can save lives.

Take action to protect your family’s health—test your home for radon today. Tennesseans can request a free home test from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.

Radon can get into homes or buildings through small cracks or holes and build up to higher levels. Many scientists believe children may run an even greater risk from radon exposure than adults, and smokers are at greater risk than nonsmokers.
