Radon is dangerous in high quantities, but undetectable without proper testing. Kingston Frontenac Public Library is now loaning 55 Corentium Home radon detectors in partnership with KFL&A Public Health, available from October to March when household radon levels are highest. Kits are available at all KFPL branches and are free to borrow for three-week periods.
