Living in the Mountains: Radon Awareness

Sponsored by NC Cooperative Extension and the Transylvania County Library, Living in the Mountains is a five-part educational series exploring the unique challenges and opportunities of living in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Part Three: Radon Awareness

Did you know radon levels in Western North Carolina are generally higher than elsewhere in the state, particularly in the mountains?  Erin Massey, N.C. Cooperative Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, will discuss what to do about radon in your home, including radon testing methods and mitigation options.

We hope you’ll join us for the remainder of the series:

• Part 4: Building a Home Emergency Kit  •  February 4 at 12:00 pm
• Part 5: Gardening and Growing Food in Mountain Soil  •  February 11 at 12:00 pm

These events will take place in the Library’s Rogow Room. An extension agent will be available afterwards to answer any additional questions.
