Radon Kit Project: University of Georgia Extension partnership
This initiative raises awareness for radon safety across the state. The program promotes public health by providing electronic radon monitors for checkout at all Georgia public libraries.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking and is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
By checking out a monitor with their library card, patrons can easily evaluate the radon levels in their living spaces, and determine if they are in danger. Radon can affect any home, regardless of construction or age. If found, radon can be fixed by installing a radon mitigation system.
Each radon kit comes with directions for use. Radon testing within a home takes two weeks. The kit has a circulation period of fourteen (14) days with two (2) renewals.
The PINES student PLAY card gives the following students a special library card using their designated student ID/number with no late fees. These PLAY cards are funded by a generous grant from Georgia Public Library Service.
