It’s not too late to test your home for radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer. The city Health Department still has a limited number of free radon test kits, Health Director Maureen B. Lillis said.
To receive a test kit, call the department at 203-937-3660. A sanitarian from the department
will deliver the kit and help place it in the home, Lillis said.
Radon is a colorless, odorless and naturally occurring radioactive gas formed from the natural decay of uranium. It’s found in rock, water and soil.
