Healthy Homes
*****Radon *****
Purchase a test kit from Extension for $15.00 to test the quality of your indoor air to determine how much Radon is present.
Once you receive the kit and conduct the test following instructions included in the kit, the kit should be mailed off to our lab in Athens where your results will be processed and sent to you via email.
Depending on the amount of radon present in your home as noted by your results, you can make decisions on whether or not you should invest in radon mitigation for a safeer home environment.
Don't hesitate to reach out to our FACS Agent with questions regarding radon or the testing process!
