the New York State Department of Health is reminding New Yorkers about the importance of testing their homes for radon, which is the second-leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and is responsible for more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States annually. Radon gas results from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, it enters a home through cracks and openings in the foundation floor and walls, and through openings around sump pumps. 37% of the basements tested in New York State have elevated radon levels. Homeowners can test their homes with Low-cost test kits are available at health.ny.gov.
