We live in a world filled with visible hazards and most of us take many precautions to avoid these obvious threats to our health and well being. Very often we do things to protect ourselves without even realizing it.
There are also many hidden threats in our lives. We protect our homes with carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms and take other precautions against hidden dangers.
The threat that Radon can present to our families is very real, and because we can't see or smell the gas, the only way to know if it is present is to test for it. It is simple to test for and inexpensive but because it is perhaps lesser known than other issues, not enough people are having their homes tested.
Please take some time to learn about radon and tell as many people as you can about what you learn. This is the time of year to have your home tested. This might be the greatest give you can give this year.
