Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can collect inside homes and buildings. Long-term exposure to high levels can increase the risk of lung cancer — and the only way to know your levels is to test.

📞 Call the Dubois County Health Department at 812-481-7055 to learn how to get a free test kit or reserve one of our digital radon detectors. We’re happy to help!

🏈With food out all game long during the Super Bowl, it’s easy to forget how long it’s been sitting at room temp. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reminds us that perishable foods shouldn’t be left out more than two hours without staying properly hot or cold to help prevent foodborne illness — so keep safety in your game plan! Check out details of what temperatures your food should stay!
