Radon risk in Iowa homes prompts mitigation drive
Iowa faces high radon levels with 200 lung cancer deaths annually tied to exposure. Mitigation costs around 1500 dollars per home, and only about 2000 systems were installed after roughly 20,000 tests last year. Upper levels show lower radon than basements, and many delay testing and remediation.
