November is Radon Action Month Radon Action Month aims to encourage Canadians to protect their health by testing for radon in their homes and reducing the level if it is high. The theme for this year’s Radon Action Month is Today 4 Tomorrow. The rationale is to encourage Canadians to take action TODAY – by testing and mitigating the radon in their homes – to protect their health as they plan for TOMORROW.
