Free radon test kits are being offered to Hamburg Township residents.
The township received the kits from the Livingston County Health Department to help distribute as January is National Radon Action Month. Radon is tasteless, odorless, and colorless and has no warning symptoms so testing is the only way to know if a home poses any risk from radon. Township Clerk Mike Dolan says radon occurs naturally and happens to be in high concentrations in pockets in Livingston County, including in Hamburg. He says radon is the number one environmental cause of cancer deaths and the number two cause of lung cancer deaths, outside of smoking. According to a study conducted by the MDEQ, radon is present in elevated levels in about 40% of Livingston County homes. One in eight Michigan homes is likely to have an elevated radon level.
