What is radon? David Tantalo with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit says it’s radioactive gas that’s released by the break down of uranium in the soil.
Tantalo says it’s important residents educate themselves to limit their exposure. The Health Unit has 100 kits to give away and Tantalo suggests you call to reserve yours. There’s an information session hosted by Health Canada on Thursday November 21 at the Calabogie Community Centre at 7pm. There will be free kits available there as well.
