In partnership with Habitat and the Utah County Health Department, Provo Mayor John Curtis held a press conference on Thursday, February 4th at his home in North Provo to discuss the deadly effects of radon gas. Mayor Curtis and Andrea Jensen, an Environmental Health Educator with the Health Department, talked about radon, its effects, and the importance of testing your home. Mayor Curtis then unveiled his own radon test results. Last year, Mayor Curtis installed a mitigation system at his home after his radon test results came back high. After mitigation, his home has dropped 12 points and is now within the EPA’s recommended level for the natural occurring gas. We appreciate the Mayor’s support of our local radon awareness efforts.
