Declares January 2025 as Radon Action Month in Michigan to raise awareness about radon exposure and its health risks.

The resolution declares January 2025 as Radon Action Month in Michigan, aiming to inform residents about radon, a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. Radon enters homes through openings in the foundation and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating homes with radon levels at or above 4 picocuries per liter to reduce lung cancer risk. The resolution highlights the importance of testing and using radon-resistant techniques in construction to protect public health.
