Radon

TRPHD is dedicated to creating healthier home environments by lowering radon in the homes of our jurisdiction.

Radon is a radioactive gas that is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.  In Nebraska, the concentration of radon radiation in homes is frequently higher than the EPA recommends. It is important to test every home for radon.  The reason it is important to test for radon is that it is tasteless, odorless, and invisible to the human eye.  A very small amount of radon can have a large health effect.

Radon Test Kits

This year, Two Rivers Public Health Department received the Radon Awareness and Risk Reduction grant again.  The objectives of this grant are to increase local awareness about the risk of long-term exposure to radon and the methods by which to test and reduce radon in homes.  We plan on educating the public through various means such as television, radio, and social media.
