The Town of Superior, Colorado posted an article, “Did You Know Superior is a Radon Aware Community?” which includes information about the Boulder County Public Health Radon Program and Radon Aware Communities. The article notes that due to COVID-19, more time is being spent at home and indoors (in observance of the Safer at Home orders). It emphasizes that now is the right time to think about the quality of the air in the home and that radon gas is great place to start that consideration.
The article notes: “The Town of Superior is one of many Radon Aware communities in Colorado that requires new single-family homes be constructed with radon resistant techniques to reduce the levels of the naturally occurring gas.”
The Boulder County Health Department Radon Program states that one out of every two homes in Boulder County has elevated radon levels. The program provides links and references. https://www.bouldercounty.org/environment/healthy-home/radon/
Becoming Radon Aware is discussed in a document by the Boulder County Health Department, “Public Health Radon Reduction Roadmap,” that explains “Recommended Practices and Policies to Reduce Exposure to Radon in our Communities.” https://assets.bouldercounty.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/radon-reduction-roadmap.pdf
