Radon can be fatal to homeowners<\/a>.\u00a0It\u00a0can enter a house through cracks in the foundation, floors and walls, or in a home’s\u00a0natural stone building materials. The gas is\u00a0the second biggest cause of lung cancer in the United States (behind smoking)<\/a>, killing around\u00a015,000 to 22,000 people per year.<\/p>\n

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a>\u00a0has designated January as National Radon Action Month<\/a>\u00a0to foster awareness of the naturally occurring gas, and encourage testing.<\/p>\n

Some areas within the RMLS\u2122 region are radon hot spots<\/a>, but testing is not required for homes in all these areas. Homeowners are highly encouraged to get their house tested.<\/p>\n
