Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas and the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., making home testing essential everywhere in Georgia — regardless of county risk maps.
The most important prevention step is routine testing every two years; short-term test kits are inexpensive, easy to use, and the only way to know a home’s radon level.
High radon levels can be mitigated through certified mitigation systems. The UGA Extension provides testing support, education, and guidance to help residents take action.
