USEPA in “Spotlight: Successful Approaches for Reducing Radon Risk,” noted the success of the Alaska Radon Program and the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals at Northern Arizona University collaborated on a radon education video targeting rural Alaskan communities. These communities in Alaska have traditionally received less access to testing and other radon resources. The six and one-half minute video provides new options for education and increased testing.
See the video at https://mediaspace.nau.edu/media/Alaska+Radon+Video/1_lk6hvkl0
The video provides information and is organized in three parts:
Part I
• What is radon?
• Health effects of radon
• Radioactivity
• Background radon
• Pathways of radon into the house
• Houses on pilings
• Homes built on the ground or that have skirting
Part II
• How to test for radon
• Short-term test setup
Part III
• Reducing radon
• Radon fan installation
• Other radon mitigation
