The Surgeon General has warned that radon, a natural radioactive gas, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, second only to smoking. The EPA has established an "action level" of 4 pCi / L (pico curies per liter of air) for indoor radon. If your home has a radon level of 4pCi / L or greater, action should be taken to lower the level. Although radon testing and mitigation is most often performed during a real estate transaction, the Nebraska Radon Program recommends all homes be tested for radon, as testing is the only way to know the radon level in your home. Radon testing is easy and inexpensive with do-it-yourself kits. Information regarding these kits is available on the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services website         .
