Glastonbury Residents Can Start The New Year Off With A Complimentary Radon Test

Press release from the Town of Glastonbury:

01/08/2026

The Town of Glastonbury is taking proactive steps to protect residents from the dangers of radon, a colorless, odorless gas that may accumulate to hazardous levels inside homes. Exposure to radon is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, making testing an essential measure for the health of residents.

To encourage radon awareness, the Glastonbury Health Department is partnering with the Connecticut Department of Public Health to offer complimentary radon test kits to 50 residents who have not previously received a test kit. Interested residents should email their name, home address, and telephone number to health@glastonbury-ct.gov. Emailed responses must include all requested information to be considered.

From eligible submissions, fifty residents will be randomly selected to receive a free kit. Selected participants will be contacted via email to pick up their kit at the Customer Service Center in Town Hall.

Program Details

• Participants should follow the included instructions carefully.
• Kits must be deployed within 24 hours of collection.
• Completed kits should be mailed for testing using the no-cost mailing packet provided.
• All residents who submit their information will be notified whether or not their name was selected.

Why Radon Testing Matters

Radon is invisible and undetectable without specialized testing. Testing is the only way to know if your home has an elevated radon level. By offering a complimentary kit, the Town of Glastonbury seeks to raise awareness and help residents take action to protect their families.
