January is radon action month! Radon is an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas that gives off radioactive particles that have proven to cause lung cancer. It is the second leading cause in the U.S. We breath it in when it enters our homes and buildings. The only way to detect it is to test for it. From January 27th to February 4th the Nevada Radon Education Program is giving free radon test kits to residents. They can be obtained at a series of presentations being given throughout the Las Vegas valley. The schedule is on their website at: https://www.unce.unr.edu/programs/sites/radon/events.asp
