Conversation with the Commissioner - Radon Action Month

What has no smell, you can’t see or taste it, but is the second leading cause of lung cancer? It's radon, and January is National Radon Action Month. For the first Conversation with the Commissioner of 2026, Lead and Healthy Homes Director Paul Krievins showed me how we can protect ourselves from this colorless, tasteless and odorless gas that forms naturally as a result of the decay of uranium and radium found in rocks and soil.

IDOH recommends that all Indiana residents test their homes for radon every 2-5 years. Take a look at this video to learn more.
