risks. Specifically, EPA will award funds to: 1) establish effective
radon programs among States, Territories, and Federally Recognized
Indian Tribes; 2) increase the number of homes, schools, and other
buildings tested and mitigated for radon; 3) encourage radon testing and
disclosure in connection with real estate transfers; 4) implement radon
resistant construction standard in high risk areas; and 5) promote
environmental justice through programs and outreach efforts directed at
low-income and/or culturally-diverse populations.
