AARST Radon
Report Card
The purpose of the Report Card is to facilitate evaluation and rating of state radon policies and risk according to objective criteria and publicize the results . AARST anticipates that this resource will assist consumers , policy makers , public advocates
, soil gas professionals , radon programs , researchers , and other health and housing stakeholders in accomplishing expanded and improved efforts to stop radon in the nation ’ s homes , schools , and other buildings . The
Report Card will be updated annually .

Cancer Statistics , 2018 ) multiplied by 13.4 % risk attributable to radon ( EPA
Assessment of Risks from Radon in Homes , 2003
) and weighted distribution of exposure risk based on mean premitigation radon levels from
CDC Environmental Public Health Network ( Lab-reported : 2008-2017 ;
State-reported : years vary ):
