Title

  • USDA Loans, Grants Can Defray Cost for Radon Mitigation in Rural Low-Income Homes

Description

  • The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) strongly encourages everyone in Illinois to test their home for radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas known to cause lung cancer. 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.
