The White Ribbon Project for National Radon Action Month (NRAM) 2023 is described in a YouTube video of the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Radon Program.
In the video, Phillip Gibson of the Radon Program, describes the prevalence of radon in South Carolina and its relevance to lung cancer. In South Carolina, 77 of the 100 counties have homes that have tested higher than 4 pCi/L, the EPA recommended action level. The promotion offers free test kits for radon in conjunction with NRAM month in January 2023.
The Radon Program is supporting community groups who will make and distribute white ribbons. White ribbons are made out of plywood painted white on one side and messages of hope, peace and love are on the reverse and the ribbons are distributed to anyone affected by lung cancer.
The video includes testimonials from medical professionals, cancer patients and others. The video also describes making the white ribbons with a list of materials and tools needed.
The Project is supported by the North Carolina Cancer Control, Lung Cancer Initiative and the North Carolina Radon Program.
