North Dakota, with the nation’s highest radon levels, urges residents to test homes and mitigate risks.
January is National Radon Action Month, and North Dakota officials are urging residents to test their homes for radon, a radioactive gas linked to lung cancer in non-smokers.
The state has the highest risk in the U.S., with 63% of homes exceeding the EPA’s action level of 4.0 picocuries per liter.
Radon enters homes through foundation cracks and accumulates indoors, especially in winter.
Free test kits are available at the Grand Forks Public Library, and affordable options are sold at stores and online.
If levels are high, mitigation systems can effectively reduce radon by venting it outdoors.
The state provides guidance, training videos, and a list of certified contractors.
For help, residents can contact the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality at (701) 328-5166.
