HARRISBURG, PA — As part of National Radon Action Month, the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will present an episode on the subject as part of its quarterly webinar series, DEP at Home, on Wednesday, January 16, from 7 to 8 p.m.
“Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and affects almost half of all Pennsylvania homes,” DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. “Everyone needs to test their homes for radon.
“The good news is that a radon problem is easily and inexpensively fixed. The webinar will teach people more about this health risk and how they can protect their families.”
The webinar will feature a presentation and live question-and-answer session with Robert Lewis and Matthew Shields of DEP’s Bureau of Radiation Protection and Kevin Stewart of the American Lung Association.
