RadonLeaders.org continues to have an active blogging community and there are several new blog posts for late January and February.

Gloria Linnertz of CanSAR has been keeping track of Radon TEE’s whereabouts in the U.S. and abroad, and tracks the new leg of its journey in her blog post, Radon TEE is Truly an International Icon. Radon TEE continues its international journey as the United Kingdom leg of its trek begins.

Also, Dr. Paul Locke of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health raises an interesting question in his latest post, Diagnosis: Cognitive Dissonance. Why Isn’t the Medical Community Counseling Patients About Radon? Dr. Locke’s post addresses the issue of radon and the medical community, and presents good arguments for getting the medical community involved in educating patients about radon’s risks. This discussion will continue in a series of blog posts.
