Morning presentations included a review of the scienti c basis of radon-induced lung cancer,
success in reducing radon risk, building science, recommendations for testing, EPA action levels

and collaborative work on strategies to determine e ective measures that can minimize or
eliminate radon-induced lung cancer.
“Developing better communication about the risk as well as advocating for and enacting state
policies to address the problem will have a major impact on decreasing the harmful health e ects
of radon,” says Cronin.
