                          It’s impossible to see, smell or taste radon. But this gas is a home’s biggest danger. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America, tragically claiming the lives of about 21,000 Americans each year. January is National Radon Action Month, so help consumers learn more about what they can do to protect themselves and their homes. See information and safety tips here. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers a number of tools and resources for use by the real estate community here. IAR has more information about radon disclosure requirements and other resources here.
