community info... DDOE offers free radon test kits to DC residents...

[Ms Vernice Woodland]

The District Department of the Environment is offering free radon test kits and window decals for residents. Residents who have tested their homes for radon with results below EPA's action guideline will received a "PASSED" radon window decal. DDOE hopes that these window decals will encourage residents to test their homes for radon. The National Academy of Science estimates that radon causes between 15,000 and 22,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States, and that 12 percent of all lung cancer deaths are linked to radon. To receive your free radon test kit, call the Radon Hotline at (202) 535-2302 or sign up online at http://ddoe. dc.gov/radon The only to know is to test, so test your home for radon today.
