January is National w88 live casino Action Month, and University of Nevada Cooperative Extension's w88 live casino Education Program is offering educational presentations at various locations across the state. Free test kits will also be available at the presentations.
w88 live casino is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It comes from the ground and can accumulate in homes, raising the risk of lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates 21,000 Americans die each year from w88 live casino-caused lung cancer, killing more people than secondhand smoke, drunk driving, falls in the home, drowning or house fires.
In Nevada, one in four homes tested show w88 live casino concentrations at or above the EPA action level. According to experts, living in a home with w88 live casino concentrations at the action level poses as much risk of developing lung cancer as smoking about half a pack of cigarettes a day.
The risk of w88 live casino-caused lung cancer can be reduced. A simple three-day test can determine if a house has a w88 live casino problem, and winter is an ideal time to test a home for w88 live casino. If w88 live casino problems are found, they can be fixed.Find out more and get a free test kit at a presentation in your community:
