January is Radon Action Month

Montgomery County is joining a nationwide effort in January to make residents aware of the dangers of radon gas. The County issued a proclamation that points out radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths in America among nonsmokers and that every home should be tested. At the ceremonies, from left: County Deputy Fire Chief John Kinsley; Fire Chief Scott Goldstein; Jeff Ganz of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors, County Councilmember Craig Rice, Director of the Department of Environmental Protection Adam Ortiz and County Executive Marc Elrich. For more information on radon gas.
