Air Health Our Health Home Inspector on Radon- with Will Graff
Today I am joined by Will Graff. Will is a home inspector who is passionate about healthy, energy efficient, and sustainable homes. He is also a strong advocate for radon-testing, which is what he is here to talk about today. Radon is personal for him, and has affected his family in a devastating way. Today, he shares his radon story, and why he urges testing. See more about Will’s story here. This podcast is originally posted in January during National Radon Action Month. Make sure you take action!

- The EPA estimates around 1 in 5 schools may have elevated radon levels in at least one frequently-occupied room. Find out if your child’s school has been tested for radon and whether it has been mitigated, particularly if close to or over the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L
