The Michigan Cancer Plan 2021-2030 includes radon in the Prevention section of the plan. It specifies the objective is to increase the proportion of new single-family homes constructed with radon reducing features. Specifically, the target measure is to increase in new homes with radon-reducing features from 10.4% to 11.4%.

Strategies for this objective include:

· Promote radon awareness, including risks of exposure, Michigan policies (Michigan residential building codes), and radon testing and mitigation.

· Host workshops/seminars for builders and code officials covering Radon Resistant New Construction (RRNC) methods.

· Facilitate collaboration with environmental, health, licensing, and cancer prevention stakeholders.
