Radon Awareness

Radon awareness refers to understanding the risks associated with radon, a colorless, odorless gas that naturally forms from the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It can seep into buildings, particularly basements, and long-term exposure can lead to lung cancer. Awareness includes knowing how to test for radon levels in homes and buildings, understanding safe remediation methods, and recognizing the importance of mitigating radon exposure for health. Raising awareness helps people take proactive steps to reduce potential health risks associated with this common environmental hazard.
