TheTakeaway
Radon is estimated to
cause thousands of lung
cancer deaths each
year--over 21,000 in the
U.S. alone.
To put that number into
perspective, it amounts
to the combined total
killed by drunk driving and
home fires annually.
Testing for indoor radon
levels is inexpensive,
and correcting any found
problems is relatively
simple.
Make radon testing a New
Year's Resolution you
can live with.
