By checking out a monitor with your library card, you can easily evaluate the radon levels in your living spaces, and determine if you are in danger. Radon kills nearly 21,000 people each year, more than 800 of them in Georgia. Radon can affect any home, regardless of construction or age. If found, radon can be fixed by installing a radon mitigation system.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking and is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. It occurs naturally when uranium breaks down to form radon. Uranium is often found in high concentrations in granite rocky soils, as are common in northern Georgia counties. As radon is released into the soil, it can enter buildings through the foundation and well water, eventually building to dangerous levels.

Each radon kit contains two QR codes: one leads to an instructional video, while the other directs you to a website to submit your results. When you report your findings to the UGA Extension, the data will be used in scientific research and to raise awareness of radon levels in Georgia.
