EHSC Seminar Series Highlighted Topic: Cancer and Community Outreach

Project narrative: Co-exposure to tobacco smoke and radon dramatically increases new cases of lung cancer. Yet, few test their homes for radon and public awareness of the seriousness of radon exposure is minimal. BREATHE’s multidisciplinary community-academic team at the University of Kentucky engages with community scientists, community-based organizations, and public libraries to boost home radon testing using digital radon technology and access to affordable radon mitigation.
