M4.6 Radon
If I were to create a national awareness campaign about exposure to radon it will consist of educating the public about what is radon, where it is commonly found, why it is important to know if they are exposed to radon, how to test for radon, and if tested for radon, what steps can be done to address exposure. The campaign will be implemented on television and social media to reach all ages. The campaign should also be in multiple languages to reach the populations with limited English proficiency. If the campaign has enough grant money, free radon tests will be mailed out to residents who need it. Possible stakeholders would be EPA and local/regional environmental health and lung cancer organizations.

Hey Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI also think an education campaign aimed at the general public would be effective in this scenario. It seems that most people are unaware of the radon status in their homes, so naturally, some information about the exposure, effects, and testing of radon would be good to persuade people to be more active about their safety.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYes, totally. Education is so important. If people know they would ask the right questions and demand action from landlords should the radon be to high. Dan
