“The Utah Radon Program works closely with the Huntsman Cancer Institute to explain the risks of radon exposure and to distribute test kits to residents, especially to low-income and lung cancer patients that are current smokers.”

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 Huntsman Cancer Institute provides information, updated in 2023, on “What You Need to Know About Radon” at https://healthcare.utah.edu/huntsmancancerinstitute/news/2023/01/what-you-need-know-about-radon

The website features a short video on testing your home for radon and the importance or radon with respect to lung cancer. The Cancer Institute provides links to the Utah Radon Program for testing information and kits.
