Health departments and other agencies concerned about radon are telling people to test their homes for National Radon Action Month. LaSalle County Health Department Health Educator Jenny Barrie says you can get a free test kit from the department’s office on E. Etna Rd. in Ottawa. If it shows high levels, you’ll know you need to do something about the cancer causing gas.
Just because your neighbors have safe radon levels doesn’t mean you do. It varies dramatically from house to house.
