Free Radon Test Kits
Dr. Richard Tooker, the chief medical officer in Kalamazoo County, Michigan recently wrote to the Kalamazoo Gazette about the issue of Radon for National Radon Action Month. Through the grapevine, it was overheard that Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services on Gull Road is offering free Radon test kits during the month of January. Radon is an important environmental issue that is frequently ignored. Unfortunately, ignoring Radon can result in lung cancer for those exposed. To learn more about Radon gas, visit www.mi.radon.com or www.epa.gov/radon. Test your home. If you have Radon, fix it. The life you save may be your own.

Thank you Randy for this information and posting concerning National Radon Action Month. I urge your readers to go to www.cansar.org and read the stories of lung cancer survivors who never knew they were living with high levels of radon until the diagnosis of lung cancer entered their lives. Please join our national awareness campaign by becoming a fan of Radon TEE on www.facebook.com/radontee. A little t-shirt that says Reduce Radon is making its way across our county to tell people of the danger of radon gas. People may be living with this silent killer and not know it because it is not detected by our senses. The only way to know is to test. Scientists extimate 22,000 or more people lose their life to radon-induced lung cancer each year. This can be prevented. Please help us by joining the www.facebook.com/radontee.
