How Radon Defense Midwest Embodies National Radon Action Month

Every January, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and health advocates across the nation recognize National Radon Action Month, a vital campaign aimed at raising awareness about radon gas—a silent, invisible threat and the second leading cause of lung cancer. Over 21,000 lives are lost annually to this naturally occurring gas, which seeps into any home or area undetected without proper testing. Here in Greater Omaha, NE, Radon Defense Midwest (RDM) is proud to support this mission. Guided by National Radon Defense’s tagline, “Clearing Air, Saving Lives,” RDM is committed to making local homes safer and healthier by combating this hidden danger.

Understanding the Radon Risk in Nebraska

Radon gas forms from the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. While it disperses harmlessly outdoors, radon can accumulate to hazardous levels when trapped indoors. Nebraska is a Zone 1 state, meaning homes are at higher risk of elevated radon levels, making regular testing crucial. This is based from the EPA Zone Radon Map.

Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it undetectable without proper testing. With 1 in 15 U.S. homes showing elevated levels, the risks in Omaha and surrounding areas cannot be ignored. Fortunately, Radon Defense Midwest provides reliable solutions, bridging the gap between awareness and action.

Making a Difference, One Nebraska Family at a Time

The Smith family, local to the Omaha area, discovered elevated radon levels during a routine home inspection. With RDM’s help, they installed a mitigation system, reducing radon levels to safe limits. Inspired by their experience, they now advocate for radon testing among their neighbors.
