“The District of Columbia (DC) submitted a document called “Radon in the District of Columbia” for inclusion in the Department of Health’s upcoming 2022-2027 DC Cancer Control Plan. Previous versions of the District of Columbia’s plan did not include radon awareness or strategies. The inclusion of radon strategies in the upcoming cancer control plan would represent an increased focus on radon risk reduction and preventing radon-induced lung cancer for District residents.”
Overview of EPA’s State and Tribal Indoor Radon Grants Program: A Focus on Activities Conducted During 2022, published in February 2023, notes this as an accomplishment. (https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-02/2022%20Annual%20SIRG%20Activities%20Report.pdf)
The Radon Program also published a Radon Fact Sheet in October of 2022. The sheet includes a map with radon levels in the District (2019-2021). See https://certi.us/cms/images/District_of_Columbia_Radon_Fact_Sheet_08.10.22.pdf
A map with levels from 2010-2021 is available online at https://doee.dc.gov/node/22322
