Please register directly EVEN if you have already signed up with the office at https://form.jotform.com/252685216552258 to take part in this FREE program that will provide you with a radon test kit. Place the detector on the lowest level of your home where people live, and return to the Milton Hall  after 100 days to be sent off to be read. You will be contacted directly with results.  Please ALSO  contact the Council office at admin@miltonvalepark.com or 902-368-3090 to sign up for the information session, where you can pick up your radon test kit. The information session will also be available online. These kits are more sensitive than the ones provided through the provincial libraries.  Radon is a radioactive gas that is released by the breakdown of uranium in the soil. It is odourless, tasteless, and colourless, and can enter buildings and enclosed spaces undetected. Since Canadian homes are sealed against the weather, radon can become trapped indoors, building up to dangerous levels. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon damages the DNA in our lung tissue and is currently leading to over 3,000 Canadian deaths each year – more than the combined toll of car collisions, house fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and drowning.
