On Wednesday, March 14th, Thrasher Radon Specialists including Don Good, Joel Hookham, Aaron Hunter, Kate Spielman and Jason Jones, attended a Regional Stakeholder’s Meeting for radon in Nebraska City, Nebraska. The meeting was designed to bring stakeholders together to discuss and understand common radon issues from new perspectives, as well as to provide insight into the future. It was an opportunity to educate and network with other radon professionals who have a stake in protecting the public from unnecessary exposure to radon in their homes, schools and businesses.
Also present at the Meeting were representatives from the EPA, AARST (American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists), the Iowa Department of Public Health, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
Iowa has the highest average radon concentrations in the country. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. A state study of Iowa homes found that 71.6% have levels above what the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe. Thrasher Basement Systems provides radon testing and mitigation services.
