The American Lung Association in Pennsylvania is once again helping people protect their health. In addition to its tobacco cessation, asthma education and Saved by the Scan programs, the association is providing free radon test kits to the public during Radon Action Month in January while supplies last. For a kit, readers may visit http://www.lungradonkits.org.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that hides invisibly in homes, yet is the nation's second-leading cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer remains the nation's leading cause of cancer deaths.
Supplies of the free test kits are limited to one per household while supplies last, and availability varies. Additionally, individuals requesting kits should be Pennsylvania residents who do not have previous test results for their homes. To learn more about radon and how to test homes, readers may visit http://www.Lung.org/radon or call the toll-free Lung HelpLine at 800-LUNGUSA.
