The Alaska Radon Program will give out free radon tests for National Radon Action Month in January.

Radon is a colorless, odorless cancer-causing gas that is commonly found in Alaska. With homes closed up during the winter, January is a good time to test for the gas.

Alaska residents may request a test kit at https://bit.ly/3v9Qh2p.
