Events › What is Radon

Radon is an odourless, naturally occurring radioactive gas found in all buildings. Learn more about radon and its health effects from experts Dr. Anne-Marie Nicol and Alan Whitehead. They’ll explain how to test your home and reduce your exposure — with the help of FVRL’s new Radon Detector Kits.

Dr. Anne-Marie Nicol is an Associate Professor at Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Health Sciences. Her areas of research include finding policy and practice strategies to reduce community exposure to environmental carcinogens such as radon gas.

Alan Whitehead has served as, President & CEO of Radon Environmental Management Corporation since 2007. It is a Building and Environmental Health Sciences company focused on preventing public exposure to radon gas.
