Strategy to tackle radon cancer
The new plan is designed to reduce the number of new cancer cases associated with people in houses and workplaces where there are high levels of the radioactive gas.
The National Radon Control Strategy, which contains a total of 48 recommendations, calls for improved building standards and better training of building professionals. It also supports the exchange of information at the time of selling properties and continuing radon testing in social housing as well as raising public awareness of the issue.
