You will also have the rare opportunity to touch and interact with a few under supervision.

More information about Radon can be found here.
Radon is a colorless, tasteless and odorless gas that can cause lung cancer. Radon is released into the soil and easily enters your home through the foundation and well water. It can build up to dangerous levels inside houses, schools, and other buildings.
The only way to know if you have radon is to test!
The test kit is offered through this county Extension office. For more information, call us at (678) 377-4010, or contact us by email.
