BOISE, idaho (CBS2) — Radon is a colorless, odorless, and invisible gas that rises up from the soil and can enter into your home.
When you have long-term exposure to high levels of radon, it can increase the risk of developing lung cancer.
In a report from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, they say about two out of five homes that have been tested in the state have levels above 4.0 pCi/L. You can use the Idaho Radon Map to check what levels of radon you have at your home.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is holding several virtual workshops this month to learn more about radon. Find out what your test results mean and what steps you can take next.
