   Radon is an odorless and colorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in Minnesota soils . It can enter homes through cracks in concrete slabs and build up in sealed areas such as basements . The accumulation can reach dangerous levels , which is why testing is important .  
   Testing for radon is easy and typically takes three to seven days to complete . The best time to test is during the heating season , but it can be done any time of year . Tests should be conducted on the lowest level of the home that is frequently occupied .
   Residents should not rely on test results from neighbors’ homes . Even the house next door can have very different radon levels . The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is to test .
   If a home’s level is at or above 4 piC/L , owners should consider verification testing and having a radon mitigation system installed . The Minnesota Department of Health ( MDH ) keeps a list of certified radon mitigation contractors at bit . ly/380R31s . More information about radon in Minnesota can be found online at health . state . mn . us/radon .
   For more information about the test kits , contact Environmental Health Specialist Lee Renneke at 952 - 826 - 0464 or
