Thousands of people have tested their homes, and nearly 40 percent were found to have high levels of radon. Those levels can be reduced by installing a radon mitigation system for around $800-1,200. But for people with fixed or lower incomes the cost may prevent them from fixing the problem. | | | | Date Created: | 06 14 2011 | | | | Agency ID: | 696**11 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000036323 Original UID: 17426 FIRST WORD: USDA | |
