The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently published fresh guidance related to radon in housing on the HUD Exchange site.
Econometrica is working with HUD to develop the guidance to raise awareness about the dangers of radon and strategies to reduce exposure. Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that is a risk factor for lung cancer when it accumulates inside a home. With testing and mitigation, exposure to radon can be reduced to safe levels.
Materials produced so far include a webinar series and infographics. They can be found at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/radon.
Econometrica continues to work with HUD on additional materials on this topic.
