January is a good month to test for radon due to the closed house conditions of most homes during the cold weather. Residents are also spending more time indoors and may be exposed to higher levels of radon than at other times of the year.
The Medina County Health Department urges residents to test their homes for radon, which is a radioactive gas that is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths in nonsmokers in the US and the second leading cause of lung cancer overall in the US.
