Becky Reid of K-State Research and Extension’s Cowley County office stopped by Bob FM Tuesday morning to talk about Radon Action Month.
Radon is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas produced by the decay of natural radioactive materials found in the soil.
It’s a naturally occurring environmental hazard that seeps into homes and other buildings through joints or cracks in the foundation and has been found above recommended levels in as many as one in four homes in Kansas.
