The Fond du Lac County Health Department is encouraging residents to get their home tested for radon. January is Radon Action month. Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says radon is a naturally occurring gas in Wisconsin soil responsible for an estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year according to the EPA. Mueller says in 2022, 43 percent of tests performed in Fond du Lac County had high levels of radon. This month the Health Department is offering free short-term radon test kits. There is a limit of one test kit per household while supplies last. You can pick up your free test kit at the Health Department on the third floor of the city-county government center.
