Radon Awareness Week 2022

Day 5: Healthcare Providers—Talk to Your Patients

https://www.cdc.gov/radon/radon-healthcareproviders.html

Ask if your patients have tested their homes for radon

and share information about the risks and prevention.

Healthcare providers can have a significant impact on reducing radon-associated lung cancer. Lung cancer among people who have never smoked causes 16,000 to 24,000 deaths in the US every year, making it one of the top 10 causes of cancer mortality. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and secondhand smoke. Visit CDC’s Radon Information for Healthcare Providers for information and to download the recently published Reducing the Risk from Radon: Information and Interventions in English or Spanish.

Most people with lung cancer don’t have symptoms until the cancer is advanced, making it harder to treat. This makes prevention even more important. Many patients trust their doctors for advice and decisions about their health and wellness. Consider asking your patients if they have tested their homes for radon and provide them with information and resources to reduce their risk.

Day 4: Keep Schools Safe

https://www.epa.gov/iaq-schools/managing-radon-schools

See EPA’s resources for schools to learn how to keep buildings safe.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing all schools for radon. EPA’s Managing Radon in Schools provides a strategic framework as part of its Indoor Air Quality initiatives. EPA estimates that more than 70,000 schoolrooms in use today have high short-term radon levels.

What you can do:

If schools in your community have not been tested, you may want to discuss radon with your school officials. Testing is the only way to know if a building has high radon levels. Many schools have successfully applied radon mitigation strategies.

What teachers can do:

Kids often bring home what they learn at school and can be great messengers of public health information. Teachers can include radon education and activities in their curriculum with resources provided by EPA, such as RadTown Classroom Materials: Radon | US EPA.

Radon Awareness Week 2022

Day 3: Explore Data and Resources

https://www.cdc.gov/radon/index.html

Check out information on radon in your state and resources from your state radon program.

Explore data:

An estimated 1 in 15 homes in the United States has high radon levels—and high radon levels can be a risk anywhere. Explore CDC’s Tracking Network maps for radon testing data at the state and county level for most of the continental United States. Tracking radon data over time can help us identify areas with low testing that might have high levels of radon. These data can inform public health actions.

Find resources:

Did you know that your state has a radon control program? You can contact your state radon office for testing or purchase a test kit in a hardware store or online. If your test shows that radon levels are above 4pCi/L or you are interested in reducing radon in your home, contact your state radon office to help you find a qualified or state-certified radon contractor in your area to fix your home. Lowering high radon levels requires technical knowledge and special skills so you should rely only on a qualified professional for these repairs. Test radon levels again after any repairs to be sure they worked

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States after cigarette smoking and causes an estimated 21,000 deaths each year.* Smoking and radon exposure each increase the risk of lung cancer, and the combination increases the risk even more. People who smoke and live in homes with high radon levels have a 10 times higher risk of lung cancer than those who never smoked and live in homes with high radon levels.

Still, radon can cause lung cancer in anyone, including those who currently, formerly, or never smoked ci******es. Read about Jackie’s story and watch her and her surgeon talk about her experience as a lung cancer survivor who never smoked.

Could the air in your home increase your risk of lung cancer?

You cannot smell, taste, or see radon. We all breathe in radon every day from the natural air without harm. However, when it gets into homes or buildings and is trapped inside, it builds up in the air. Over time, people who live or work in these homes and buildings and breathe in high levels of radon have a higher risk of getting lung cancer.

Testing your home for radon is the only way to know whether you and your family are exposed to high levels of radon. Radon can build up in the air in any home or building whether it has a basement, is sealed or drafty, or is new or old. There is no known safe level of radon and you should always aim to have the lowest radon level.
