The National Radon Action Plan is a strategy to save lives by reducing radon exposure. Radon is a harmful gas that can cause lung cancer. The plan aims to increase awareness, improve testing, and promote building practices that reduce radon levels in homes and schools. It describes how government agencies, health organizations, and private sectors are working together to make indoor spaces safer from radon. By taking these steps, the plan hopes to prevent thousands of deaths each year caused by this invisible threat.
