“Washington Radon Program developed a free radon test kit program for homeowners and renters to promote and increase testing in homes. State residents (including homeowners, renters, and landlords) may complete a form and provide address information to request a free test kit. To make this test kit program more accessible, the request form was recently translated into several non-English languages (Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese).”

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 Department has a limited supply of free radon test kits. In order to use these resources and achieve successful testing, the Department provides request forms and testing instructions for completing the tests.

The Department’s Radon pages is also available in Spanish translation by a menu option. See https://doh.wa.gov/community-and-environment/contaminants/radon
