This activity page has been developed as an educational resource to enhance awareness and understanding of radon and its impact on environmental health. It is designed to support families, schools, and communities by providing accessible information and engaging activities that highlight the sources, risks, and prevention methods associated with radon exposure. Through this resource, we aim to foster informed discussions, promote preventive actions, and encourage safer, healthier living environments.
