MI Green School Guide: project catalog
Radon education and action

One in every four Michigan homes is expected to have radon levels that exceed the recommended federal action level. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind smoking. You can't see, smell or taste radon. The only way to know if you have elevated radon levels is to test. Teaching school community members about radon will help them make healthy decisions at home. Schools should also consider testing buildings to mitigate community exposure to radon.
