Designates August of each year as Radon Awareness Month; designates August 2 of each year as Radon Action Day.
This resolution designates August as "Radon Awareness Month" and August 2 as "Radon Action Day" in New Jersey. It encourages residents to test homes for radon - a radioactive gas linked to lung cancer - following existing recommendations from the New Jersey DEP and U.S. Surgeon General. The resolution does not create new regulations or requirements but promotes awareness through annual proclamations by the Governor. It focuses on public education about radon testing and mitigation, which the DEP already advises for homes.
