ATHENS — University of Georgia Cooperative Extension’s radon testing program — a holistic program that combines radon education outreach with research, testing and mitigation — has helped optimize sampling and testing methodology for radon in water throughout the U.S. The program has influenced national standards in radon testing.

Pamela Turner, professor and extension housing and indoor environment specialist with the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, is the primary investigator on the project with co-PI Uttam Saha, coordinator of UGA’s Agricultural and Environmental Services Laboratories Feed and Environmental Water Laboratory. The team receives funding for this program through an ongoing State Indoor Radon Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Maria M. Lameiras is a managing editor with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
