Order a radon test kit at UGARadon.org.

Last night, Chairwoman Hendrickson recognized January as Radon Action Month in Gwinnett. At least 1 in 15 homes in the United States have elevated levels of radon, which is the leading cause of lung cancer death for non-smokers.

Marcela loves using her Spanish heritage to share safety messages with a growing and diverse community through radio, TV interviews, and presentations. She recently was able to introduce Spanish-speaking residents to fire safety programs. Thank you for all your hard work.
