It used to be a team event, Utah homes By Mm Stark - : Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Roughly one in every three 'Utah home's has dangerous levels lev-els of radon, according to state 1 estimates. The Utah Department of Environmental En-vironmental Quality said more than 10,000 tests have been conducted throughout the state ' since 1990. Utah's concentrations concentra-tions were nearly four times the national average. That's not surprising, said John Hultquist, a scientist at the Utah Division of Radiation , Control. Radon levels tend to be higher in the Rocky Mountains because there's a large source - radioactive radioac-tive gas from decaying uranium - and people tend to keep their houses closed up during much of the year, Hultquist said. Because radon is odorless, tasteless and invisible, the only way to know it's present is to test for it. For years, the DEQ has been collectingradondatafromhomes throughout the state; The number num-ber s are kept in a database sorted by county and zip code. The highest levels are in Beaver Bea-ver County and, in particular, the ', town of Beaver. State officials say radon levels Now Enrolling Morning Classes K h f I f( v. f .'

The state average was 4.9. Tests in Beaver have shown consistently ,," high levels in the past. "We've known about it for some time," Hultquist said. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which ranks radon as the top cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers, encourages en-courages fixing radon intrusions when the number is between 2 and 4 picocuries per liter. The fix is relatively inexpensive, inexpen-sive, usually a venting system that pipes the air away from the house. Although most people have heard of radon and know of its potentially deadly effects, state officials still struggle to get owners own-ers to test their homes. DEQ officials encourage anyone buying buy-ing a house to get it tested using kits available at most hardware stores. . "If you don't test when you bought your home, you may be liable when you sell your home and maybe stuck fixing the home for a problem you didn't know existed," David Neville, Utah's radon program coordinator, said in a statement Wednesday.
