Interview with Ana Arriaza, manager of partnership and engagement at Montgomery County’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The interview highlights the importance of detecting radon. Radon is a radioactive gas that cannot be seen or smelled, and it is found naturally in rocks, soil and water. It can enter homes and buildings undetected and exposure to it is linked to lung cancer. Therefore, it is important to limit exposure to ensure the safety of families. To determine if your home is affected by radon, it is important to perform radon tests. To raise awareness about this issue, the Maryland Department of Health is offering discounted radon test kits for homeowners at the discounted rate of $3 throughout January as part of the National Radon Awareness Month.
