It is illegal for a Realtor or home buyer to do a radon in air or radon in water test. Similarly, if the home is for sale, an independent registered radon tester is required to perform the test.

Question: Does radon really cause lung cancer and how much research has been done that proves it?

One way people may be exposed to PFAS is by eating food grown on land impacted by PFAS. This includes livestock raised on land impacted by PFAS. At some farms in Maine, sludge (also known as biosolids) with PFAS was applied to farmland. This introduced PFAS into agricultural soils, which may then be taken up by crops and livestock. PFAS can then end up in products such as milk, meat, and vegetables. PFAS-contaminated water used for irrigation can be another way for PFAS to enter agricultural systems.
