Mission

To protect Rhode Islanders from lung cancer due to radon exposure by ensuring that no homes, schools, or other high priority buildings have unacceptable radon levels.

What we do

• Implement and enforce the mandatory radon testing and mitigation requirements for high priority buildings (schools, childcare facilities, and public buildings).
• Certify and control quality of the licensed radon professional infrastructure.
• Promote radon testing and mitigation in residential properties through education and outreach campaigns.
• Promote radon resistant new construction in homes, schools, and public buildings.
• Manage and maintain a comprehensive radon database of high priority building and residential test results.
• Collaborate with, and support, the US Environmental Protection Agency's Protecting People and Families from Radon Initiative.
