"Radon and Indoor Air Quality in Indian Country"

Thursday, January 12, 2012- Radon and Indoor Air Quality: This month is radon awareness month. According to those in the field, radon - a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas found in homes - is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. and the leading cause among non-smokers. Does your tribe have a radon testing program? What measures is your tribe taking to keep your air quality at a healthy level? What else are you breathing inside your home and workplace? Guests include Vivian Craig (Navajo) Environmental Specialist/Navajo Radon Program, Twa-le Abrahamson (Spokane /Colville/Coeur d'Alene/Navajo) Air Quality Coordinator/Spokane Tribe, and Mansel Nelson, Senior Program Coordinator/ Northern Arizona University's Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals.
