Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and is estimated to cause about 50 lung cancer deaths in Vermont annually.
According to a 2023 American Lung Association report, high levels of radon were detected in about 22% of Vermont homes tested.
The EPA recommends mitigation for any level of 4.0 pCi/L or higher.
Radon can also be found in well water. The Vermont Department of Health recommends testing if your home's air has high radon levels and offers test kits for water. An advisory level is set at 4,000 pCi/L for water.

Radon can only be detected by testing.
Your home's indoor radon level is dependent on geology and how well its foundation keeps radon gas from entering. It is important for all homes to get tested, as radon levels will vary from home to home.
The Centers for Disease Control state that 1 out every 15 homes have elevated levels of Radon.
