The Massachusetts Department of Public Health received a $173,000 Formula Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 under the State Indoor Radon Grants program (CFDA 66.032). The goal of this two-year award is to provide radon risk reduction through public information, outreach, education and programs to control radon in existing and new homes, schools, and other buildings in Massachusetts. Key deliverables include implementing a state program of radon-related projects, demonstrating radon mitigation methods and technologies, and increasing radon testing, mitigation, and radon resistant new construction. This award furthers EPA's mission of assisting states and tribes to reduce radon risk through the authorizing statute, Title III of the Toxic Substances Control Act.
