Do you know that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.? Ramsey County lies in a region of the country considered to be a “hot” area for radon. This naturally occurring gas enters through the bottom level of homes and other buildings and has the ability to permeate the entire structure.
Ramsey County actively promotes radon awareness through print materials, a website, and a telephone information line (651.266.1133). The County urges all residents to test the radon level in their homes and businesses. You can buy a kit though Ramsey County ($9 and $13) or at a local home improvement store. Call 651.266.1199 to order a radon test kit and 651.266.1127 to speak to Lisa Marshall, the radon program coordinator.
