An Introduction to Radon Gas in Homes

With guest speaker Bruce Snead from Kansas State University

Facilitation by Amanda Hong of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that that can enter homes from the ground and build up to dangerous levels. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. It is both colorless and odorless, so the only way to know if you have high levels in your home is to test.

This webinar will provide an overview of the key basic facts of radon - what it is, what it does to us, how we measure it, how we reduce our exposure, and resources for additional information.
