National Radon Awareness Month
January is recognized as National Radon Action Month, which encourages homeowners and the general public to raise awareness of radon gas, a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that can pose serious health risks. Radon is produced from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, and it can accumulate in homes and buildings, particularly in basements and lower levels. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon increases the risk of lung cancer, making it essential to test indoor air quality.
During National Radon Action Month, people are encouraged to take proactive steps, including testing their homes for radon levels using DIY test kits or hiring professional services. Engaging with informative videos and interactive educational resources can help raise awareness about the importance of radon testing. Complete these activities to earn a badge for your commitment to protecting your health from radon exposure.
