Recently, there have been two webinars that focused on radon gas. This webinar is a continuation where we focus on why Indigenous communities “must” build radon resistant homes. We will address the foundation types that are commonly used in our communities and the impact on radon entry. We will emphasize the need to build radon resistant homes in areas that have high radon gas levels.
