USEPA in “Spotlight: Successful Approaches for Reducing Radon Risk, noted the success of the Wyoming Radon Program in establishing the state’s first radon video contest to promote National Radon Action Month, alongside their annual Radon Poster Contest in 2020. In its second year, the number of video submissions exceeded the state’s expectations and the state received positive feedback from students and teachers.
