The US Environmental Protection Agency is warning all citizens about the dangers of radon and encouraging all homeowners to test their home for radon. Communities across the nation have partnered with organizations to lead activities and host special events, to increase awareness of the health effects. The EPA is taking action to promote radon testing and mitigation as well as new construction that is radon-resistant.
