Radon Awareness Month! (2021)

From CDC.gov

In recognition of Radon Action Month, CDC will sponsor its first Radon Awareness Week January 25th – 29th, 2021.  The week’s theme Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones from Radon focuses on the need to increase the public’s awareness about radon as a potential public health concern.

CDC’s Radiation Studies Program, in collaboration with CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Program and Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, will highlight messages on understanding what radon is, the importance of testing homes to determine if there is a high level of radon, and steps to take to reduce radon levels in homes.
