May is Clean Air Month, a time recognized by the American Lung Association to highlight the importance of air quality and its impact on our lung health. With most people spending up to 90% of their time indoors—mainly at home—it’s essential to ensure the air we breathe is safe.

One major threat to indoor air quality is radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas. In St. Joseph County, radon is commonly found and can enter homes through cracks and gaps in the foundation. It doesn’t matter how old your home is or where it’s located—any home can be affected.

When radon builds up indoors, it can reach dangerous levels. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., causing about 21,000 deaths each year.

The good news? Radon is easy to detect and fix. The EPA recommends testing every home. FREE radon test kits are available on the 9th floor of the County-City Building and at all libraries across St. Joseph County. If your home tests high, a professional can install a mitigation system to reduce radon to safe levels.
