Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water.  Radon is non-visible, odorless and tasteless, but according to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General radon may be a problem in residential homes. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and because of this the Surgeon General and EPA recommend testing for radon and reducing radon in homes that have high levels. 

 

The City of Black Hawk Radon Mitigation Fund (the “Radon Fund”) is intended to partially reimburse property owners (up to $500) for the installation of radon mitigation systems in existing homes within the City.
