Everyone gets busy, but it’s important to check on the safety of your home periodically. And checking for radon levels is one of the most important. Why radon? It is an invisible, odorless, tasteless, cancer-causing gas that enters buildings through the numerous cracks, holes and pipes in the foundation. Homes are the most concerning because that’s where families spend the most time.

To raise awareness about radon, the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment is giving away free radon test kits.
The kit will allow you to determine your home’s levels of this naturally occurring but dangerous gas, the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.
Denver residents can request a free test kit by going here. But supplies are limited.
