Sources of Information
More information on the adverse effects of radon and the treatment and management of persons exposed to radon can be obtained from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), your state and local health departments, and university medical centers. Physicians and other health professionals can obtain materials from EPA for display purposes. EPA maintains a radon hotline (1-800-SOS-RADON).
Case Studies in Environmental Medicine: Radon Toxicity is one of a series. For other publications in this series, use the order form on page 34. For clinical inquiries, contact ATSDR, Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine, at 770-488-3490.
Congress has mandated that each state set up an office to deal with requests for radon testing and remedial action. Note that the 800 numbers are for in-state use only and are subject to change. An updated list is available from URL www.epa.gov/iaq/contacts.html.
Native Americans living on Indian lands should contact their Tribal Health Department of Housing Authority for assistance. (See Tribal Radon Program Offices information.)
