(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from the American Lung Association on Thursday, radon remains the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. In Pennsylvania, 39.1% of radon test results equal or exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 4 pCi/L., according to the latest American Lung Association “State of Lung Cancer” report. January 2025 is known as National Radon Action Month and the main reason why lung cancer occurs in non-smokers is radon. Here are some tips from the American Lung Association to help you avoid being exposed to radon: 

• Perform radon tests in your house.
• Before buying a home, test for radon always.
• After the results of the radon test are seen, make sure the picocuries per liter is in a range of 2 and 4 picocuries per liter and not more than four.
• Do not smoke or get exposed to radon.
