Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Over 21,000 people die each year. You can't see, taste or smell radon. You can protect your family by testing your home. To get a radon test kit go to www.ugaradon.com or if you live in Georgia call 1-800-ASK-UGA1.

Join us on Thursday, October 22, at 6:00 PM for a radon education session! This program is free and open to the public, no registration necessary.
Gilmer County sits in one of Georgia's highest-risk areas for radon — an invisible, odorless gas found in the granite-rich soil under North Georgia homes. It's the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., yet most homeowners have never tested for it.
Learn what radon is, how it gets into your home, its health effects, and how to test for and mitigate it. This session is presented by Rebecca Cantrell, MPH, Radon Educator with the UGA Radon Program.

The UGA Radon Program attended the Indoor Environments Association Symposium earlier this month in Norfolk, VA.
Dr. Uttam Saha presented research examining radon testing rates and its relationship with socioeconomic and public health factors.
We enjoyed connecting with fellow professionals and learning from those who share our passion for healthier indoor air!
