Amid the general disinterest and lack of education in the United States and Canada about radon and its dangers, the succinct and direct advice offered by Dr. McGarry, who works for the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland (RPII), is a flash of much-needed good sense.
"The advice from the RPII remains the same. There is no reason for anyone to be at risk from radon exposure, whether they are smokers or not. Testing is cheap and easy, and remediation where required is extremely cost effective."
Hopefully, Dr. McGarry's voice won't be the only one spreading this important and life-saving message.
