Radon
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium found in rocks and soil. You can’t see, smell, or taste radon. When outside, radon does not usually cause health issues because it can disperse in the air. But when radon seeps into confined spaces like a house, it can build up to high levels and become harmful.
Kits are no longer available through the Municipal Office. Residents interested in having their home tested can do so through Evict Canada. You can purchase a kit at cost but you must consent to participate in a National Study. More details are available on the website: https://evictradon.org/.
