About the 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge:
The 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge is facilitated across several municipalities by Take Action on Radon, a coalition of national health organizations. 100 free radon test kits will be distributed in each participating municipality to collect data and raise awareness about the health risks associated with radon in anticipation of the upcoming National Radon Awareness Month in November. The initiative is led by the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) and the Canadian Cancer Society.
