While it may not feel like it outside, fall is only a few weeks away. With cooler weather approaching, the City of Fort Collins is encouraging community members to learn more about the risks of radon in their homes. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and naturally occurring gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Radon Gas Danger
Radon gas enters homes and other buildings through cracks and openings in basements, crawl spaces, and slabs. Radon levels vary from house to house and have nothing to do with the age, upkeep, or quality of the building; however, Colorado homes are at a greater risk for high radon levels.
Join us in October at upcoming educational events to learn more. October 1 (2-5 p.m.) In – Person Event: Lyric Cinema: 1209 N College Ave in Fort Collins. Please RSVP at www.fcgov.com/news/?id=8338.
Snacks, refreshments, and free radon test kits will be provided at the in-person event. Plus, a raffle for a $25 VISA gift card, a fun activity for kids and radon stories shared by a lung cancer survivor, advocate and caregiver.
