Event Details

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The American Lung Association's Radon Basics course is designed to help people understand more about radon, a radioactive gas commonly found indoors at dangerous levels. Each person who attends will receive a free radon test kit to take home!

This program will teach participants to:

  • Understand what radon is, where it comes from, and its risks for causing lung cancer.
  • Explain why everyone should test for radon and describe how to do it.
  • Understand how radon comes into a home, and how to fix homes to reduce radon exposure.
  • Describe actions that will result in systemic changes that move beyond a “one house at a time” approach.
