The gas causes about 300 cases of lung cancer in Ireland each year

Kildare householders are being urged to test their homes for the presence of Radon.

This is a radioactive gas that causes about 300 cases of lung cancer in Ireland each year

Radon can enter your home from the ground and build up to high levels indoors.

Homes in some parts of the country are more likely to have a radon problem than others.

Alison Dowdall is an EPA Scientific Officer.
