Memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2025 as Radon Awareness Month in New York.

This bill memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2025 as Radon Awareness Month in New York. Radon is a colorless, odorless, invisible gas that can only be detected through radon testing. It is a radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium found in nearly all soils. Radon is estimated to cause thousands of deaths each year due to breathing air containing radon, which can cause lung cancer. The only way to know if there is a risk from radon is to test for it. The bill highlights the need for greater awareness and action to combat radon exposure.
