The Radon Education Program developed this book to help children understand radon and its impact on health. Designed as an educational tool, it aims to raise awareness about environmental health by teaching kids, schools, and communities about radon exposure. Through the "Mitigator" comic, readers will discover where radon is commonly found and learn about its potential health risks, along with practical steps for prevention and safety.
