title: Radon: its impact on the community and the role of the nurse.
abstract: 1. Radon contamination is of growing concern in many industries and communities, but it need not remain a hazard. Testing can be inexpensive and mitigation may be as simple as opening a window. 2. High risk areas are known. For more information on radon one may contact the local EPA office. The address is found in the government section of the white pages of the telephone directory. 3. Occupational health nurses are uniquely positioned to gather and disseminate much needed information on the effects of radon.
