Radon Awareness
The short but very informative video, "Are You Breathing Radon?," published by the Huntsman Cancer Institute had three important elements that I think would be necessary in a national awareness campaign. First, the campaign should identify the health hazards of radon. Second, how radon can be detected using low cost and easy-to-use test kits should be emphasized. Third, action steps for dealing with unhealthy levels of radon should be outlined. This would be done by providing hotline phone numbers and/or identifying local radon experts. Potential partners or stakeholders at the national level to consider are the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the American Lung Association. State or local level partners or stakeholders might include radon service providers.

I am curious how much does the radon test cost. Also I came up with simple stakeholders. My main question regarding this is would, for instance, the American Lung Association be interested in providing the radon test for patients? Or how it may be involved besides promotion, recommendations and education?
ReplyDeleteI agree that the first step in developing a national awareness campaign is to- spread awareness! I certainly believe that people are just genuinely unaware of the dangers within their daily living and homes!
