How National Radon Defense
Embodies National Radon Action Month
Every January, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and health advocates across the nation observe National Radon Action Month, a campaign designed to raise awareness about radon gas—a silent, invisible threat and the second leading cause of lung cancer. 21,000+ lives are lost annually to this naturally occurring gas, which seeps into homes and workplaces undetected without proper testing. National Radon Defense’s tagline, “Clearing Air, Saving Lives,” perfectly encapsulates its mission to combat this danger, aligning seamlessly with the goals of National Radon Action Month.
Understanding the Radon Risk
Radon gas is produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Outdoors, radon disperses harmlessly, but when trapped indoors, it can accumulate to dangerous levels. The EPA estimates that 1 in 15 homes in the U.S. has elevated radon levels, posing serious health risks over time.
Radon’s invisibility makes it particularly dangerous: it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It doesn’t discriminate either. It can be found in any living area. Without proactive measures such as testing and mitigation, families may remain unaware of the threat in their homes. National Radon Defense (NRD) bridges this gap, providing solutions and raising awareness.
Aligning Mission with Message: “Clearing Air, Saving Lives”
NRD’s tagline is more than a slogan—it’s a call to action. “Clearing Air” represents transparency and education, ensuring homeowners are informed about radon risks. “Saving Lives” highlights the ultimate goal: protecting communities from radon’s harmful effects.
This aligns with National Radon Action Month’s objective of encouraging radon testing and action. NRD’s professional testing and mitigation services turn awareness into life-saving solutions.
The Power of Prevention
Radon mitigation is a proactive step toward safeguarding health. NRD ensures homeowners understand the importance of testing and taking swift action. By educating families and offering reliable mitigation systems, NRD empowers individuals to protect their homes.
A simple radon test followed by mitigation can reduce radon levels by up to 99%. For many families, safety begins with awareness to act.
Amplifying Awareness During National Radon Action Month
NRD amplifies its efforts on this event to raise awareness. Collaborating with local communities and health organizations such as CR3 and CLEHR Network, the company uses National Radon Action Month to educate the public about testing and mitigation. NRD’s initiative is to motivate individuals to prioritize testing before it’s too late.
