Rule out radon – Sign the Healthy Schools Day petition

Healthy Schools Day is April 3, 2018

Radon is a known cancer risk. It is a radioactive soil gas that can build up to harmful levels in indoor air.

• Long-term exposure to high levels of radon causes lung cancer.
• Schools and child care environments can have high levels of radon.
• Radon testing is easy and inexpensive.

This Healthy Schools Day — April 3, 2018 — we are reaching out across Canada to join voices about the need to Rule Out Radon in all schools and child care programs.

Here’s what you can do:

Join us in calling on governments to protect children and staff from this serious and preventable health risk.
