Free radon test kits in Minnesota

Minnesota does not run a statewide giveaway. The health department points residents to local health departments, hardware stores and laboratories instead. One detail is worth catching before you buy. Some kits are priced without the lab analysis, so the number on the box is not the full cost. Check whether mailing the device in and getting a result is included. Minnesota winters are long, which helps here, because a closed up house gives a more reliable reading than one with windows open. Test in the lowest room you spend real time in, not an unused corner of the basement.
