House Resolution No. 179.

A resolution to declare January 2012 as Radon Action Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Radon is a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas that threatens the health of our citizens; and

Whereas, Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States and the number one cause among non-smokers; and

Whereas, One in 15 homes across the U.S. has an elevated radon level; and

Whereas, Any home in Michigan may have an elevated level of radon, even if other homes in the same neighborhood do not; and

Whereas, Testing for radon is simple and inexpensive; and

Whereas, Identified radon problems can be fixed; and

Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are supporting efforts to encourage Americans to test their homes for radon, mitigate elevated levels of radon, and build new homes with radon-resistant materials and features; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2012 as Radon Action Month in the state of Michigan.
