S. Illinois counties to study radon gas
July 4th, 2009
Ten Southern Illinois counties have been targeted to participate in a study to increase the awareness of radon, a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas that’s often found in homes and has been linked to lung cancer. In June, sponsors of the study made 1,000 free test kits available to residents in the targeted counties of Clay, Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Marion, Washington, Wayne and Williamson.
