In her presentation, Mary will provide a brief introduction to radon, review its health effects, regulatory framework and current initiatives for the program. The presentation information is designed to make community members aware of resources for testing and mitigating radon and how they might partner with the program to increase homeowner and renter awareness of environmental hazards. The talk will also help residents to recognize the exposure routes for radon and typical methods of treating both air and water.
In his presentation, Tom will share about how he became a community advocate, including his experience with testing and treating for radon. He will give a brief overview of the website he developed to help raise awareness about radon and let library patrons across the state know about which libraries currently have programs to lend handheld continuous radon monitors (HCRMs).
