Oakland County residents may purchase radon test kits for just $5 at Oakland County Health Division offices during National Radon Action Month this January. Health Division encourages residents to take advantage of this half-off price to test their homes for the potentially harmful gas.
Radon is a naturally-occurring, invisible, odorless gas that is usually harmless outdoors. However, when the gas is trapped in buildings or homes it can be a health hazard. The Environmental Protection Agency says there is moderate potential for elevated radon levels in Oakland County homes.
Radon test kits for homes are available at Health Division offices:
- North Oakland Health Center, 1200 North Telegraph, Building 34E, Pontiac
- South Oakland Health Center, 27725 Greenfield Road, Southfield
If high levels of radon are found in the home, contact Health Division’s Environmental Health Services at 248-858-1312 (Pontiac) or 248-424-7190 (Southfield).
