UK Radon Awareness Week 2019 begins today, 4th November.

Research published earlier this year has found that indoor radon levels are increasing due to the changes we are making to our buildings for energy efficiency purposes. This in turn will lead to an increase in the number of lung cancer deaths attributable to radon exposure.

The campaign is being backed by TV & Radio property expert, Martin Roberts, who says “The lack of awareness about radon and its health dangers is shocking – and it’s something that could be in any of our homes.” You can hear more from Martin on Tuesday 5th November when he’ll be appearing on BBC Radio 2’s The Jeremy Vine Show at around 1pm.
