SPRINGFIELD – Radon is a naturally-occurring element which is undetectable from human senses. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is urging residents to take time in January to test their home for radon as part of 2023 Radon Action Month. “This odorless, colorless, tasteless gas is found in the air we breathe in buildings, homes, offices,” said IEMA Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau. “If not properly addressed, high levels of radon can cause major health concerns.” It’s estimated more than 1,100 people in Illinois develop radon-related lung cancer each year.

Should you find higher readings, you should contact IEMA for information about a licensed mitigation professional who are trained to reduce radon levels. The IEMA and the Lung Association in Illinois are announcing th
