“ Radon exposure is a public health issue that affects every community,” said Insoo Park, CEO of Ecosense.“ By partnering with CR3, we’ re strengthening a nationwide movement to make radon testing accessible, understandable, and practical for everyone.”
CR3’ s leadership has played a pivotal role in elevating radon awareness across the country. Jackie Nixon, a lung cancer survivor and lifelong non-smoker, discovered dangerously high radon levels in her Pennsylvania condo after her 2015 lung cancer diagnosis. As President of CR3 and publisher of CR3 News Magazine, Nixon works to educate both the public and the medical community about the hidden dangers of radon exposure through her advocacy.
“ Radon affects your lungs, and you may not even show any symptoms,” Nixon said.“ So, test your house for radon and know your numbers.”
Through initiatives like Radon Rivals, Nixon has helped empower younger generations to understand radon risks and the importance of prevention, reinforcing CR3’ s mission to reduce radon-induced lung cancer through awareness and early detection.
“ Education alone is not enough; communities need accessible, reliable, and easy-to-use tools,” a CR3 spokesperson added.“ Our partnership with Ecosense turns radon awareness into meaningful prevention. By engaging libraries as community hubs, we can reach families who might never otherwise test their homes.”
Libraries serve as ideal access points for environmental health initiatives, offering credibility, convenience, and broad community reach. The program is particularly impactful for low-income households, renters, and residents in high-radon regions where testing rates have historically lagged.
Borrowers can easily use Ecosense EcoBlu digital radon monitors without technical expertise. The devices deliver fast and accurate results continuously while being plugged in, helping users understand both immediate radon levels and fluctuations over time. It is a critical advantage of digital radon detectors compared to the traditional test kits, given radon’ s variability by nature.
Since its initial launch, the Ecosense Library Lending Program has been recognized as a scalable model of public-private collaboration in environmental health. The partnership with CR3 accelerates that vision by expanding deployment to new states, municipalities, and underserved communities.
“ Our goal is simple,” Park added.“ Every family deserves to understand the air they breathe at home. Radon testing should be as accessible as borrowing a book.”
