Eleanor Divver, Dept. of Air Quality

1 out of 2 homes in Summit County have high levels of Radon. Indoor radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in
the United States and breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant health risk to families all over the
county. It’s important to know that this threat is completely preventable. Radon can be detected with a simple test and
fixed through well-established venting techniques.
