💤 CO2 builds up overnight, causing poor sleep. Open a window or door for better rest!

Carbon monoxide causes 400 to 500* unintentional, non-fire deaths a year in the US. The majority of homes have a carbon monoxide detector.
☢️ Radon kills around 21,000* people a year, yet most people have never tested their home.
Both are invisible, but you can protect your family by monitoring for both.
🏡 Every home should measure radon.

Some household mysteries are a bit easier to solve than others. 👀 It's hard to prove if your house is haunted, but you can at least find out if it has radon 😇
What's the weirdest thing you've heard in your house at 2am?

🫁 Lung cancer is not just a smokers' disease. Nearly 60% of people diagnosed today have never smoked, and radon is a leading cause among them, responsible for around 21,000 US deaths a year.
Early detection can make a huge different.
💛 If caught early, the 5-year survival rate for lung cancer increases from 27% to 64%.*
This World Lung Cancer Day, take control of the risk you can measure: test your home for radon.

Wildfire smoke is again affecting millions of people across Canada and the US, with smoke now reaching as far south as Florida.

Fire itself isn't the only risk. If you're able to stay in your home, it's important to be aware of the impacts the smoke can have on your short and long term health.

🔥 Smoke doesn't stop at the forest line. It seeps into homes, sometimes for weeks after a fire has died down, even thousands of miles from the source.

🌫️ What's actually in it?
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and harmful gases that get inside and linger, with effects both short and long term.

🛑 Common mistakes:
Cracking windows to "air out" the smoke, skipping HVAC filter changes, using a non-HEPA air purifier, or relying on a basic face mask outdoors.

🛡️ What actually helps:
Close windows and vents, run a HEPA air purifier, switch HVAC to recirculate, change filters regularly, and monitor indoor PM levels directly instead of guessing.

If you do have to go outside, an N95 or P100 (not a surgical or cloth mask) is what actually filters smoke particles. Remember to follow local guidance and advice, including resources like fire.airnow.gov
