Health Minister Announces Radon Action Month

Health Canada

This November marks the 10th anniversary of Radon Action Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness of the health risks of radon and encouraging people in Canada to take action and test their home. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that - through prolonged exposure at elevated levels - can take a serious toll on a person's health. In fact, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and is responsible for the deaths of over 3,000 people in Canada per year.
