January is National Radon Action Month, and Stamford health officials are now offering free test kits to keep residents safe.
"Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers," Mayor Caroline Simmons wrote on Twitter.

Test kits are being made available to homeowners for free from now until March.
