Welcome to the Madison County Milk House. Hosted by Samantha Field the Madison County, NY Public Information Office. This is where we talk about the big topics both North and South of Rt. 20.
Did you know that Madison County is a high-risk radon county? Radon is a naturally occurring, cancer-causing radioactive gas. It rises up from underground and can accumulate inside your indoor spaces.
Radon may be a health risk to you and your family. It is a leading cause of lung cancer. Because you cannot see, smell, or taste radon gas, the only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test for it. Testing is one important action that requires little effort and only a few minutes of time. Approximately 40% of basements in Madison County homes may have elevated radon levels.
Madison County Public Health is offering eligible homeowners in Madison County a free radon test kit, while supplies last. Madison County residents may also request a free complete Healthy Homes check-up, which includes testing for radon, by calling 315-366-2526.
Another efficient prevention strategy is to use Radon Resistant New Construction (RRNC) techniques in building a new home. This costs a third to one half as much as radon mitigation.
Resolve this January to take action and know your home’s radon level. To request a test kit, call Madison County Public Health at 315-366-2526 or visit www.healthymadisoncounty.org.
