Health department offers radon test kits.
The Sauk County Health Department offers radon kits for purchase at area locations. These short-term test kits determine the radon level over a 48-hour period and costs $10. Radon is an invisible, odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive gas that seeps through the ground and the foundation of buildings. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
The health department has multiple staff members trained in radon measurement and mitigation who are qualified to answer questions regarding radon. For more information, call 608-355-3290 or visit lowradon.org.
