Greetings fellow radon pundits. I am trying to get the Tahoe Newborn Radon program (where every new parent goes home with a free radon test kit) started at our local hospital in South Lake Tahoe, CA. The first (hopefully of many!) in California. Does anyone have records of which states have a Newborn Radon Program? I copied mine initially from Pennsylvania and Utah has also helped, but I would like to know if there is a list of states with a current Newborn Radon Program along with the number of participating hospitals. Google is surprisingly silent on the topic.
Jeff - Many years ago I received a couple of SIRG grants to provide (through the hospital) radon info and test kit to new parents that lived in Zone 1 counties. Although I am now not involved in the program, I am glad to say the program is still continued by the radon section of the NY State Health Dept. (as evidenced by the packages that my new grandchildren brought home from the hospital). - Mike Kitto
