In an effort to spread the word about radon, its effects and where it is found, January has been designated as National Radon Action Month.
The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) has partnered with Spruce Environmental Technologies to provide low-cost professional radon training courses to interested Maine residents. Registration for these classes continues through the end of the month.
