Lung cancer doesn't always look the way people expect.

A recent story from KSDK News highlighted the experience of Laura Hamann, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer in her early 40s despite never having smoked a day in her life.

Her story reflects a growing trend. Nearly 1 in 5 lung cancer diagnoses now occur in people who have never smoked.

While smoking remains the leading cause of lung cancer, it is not the only cause. Factors such as genetics, air pollution, occupational exposures, and radon gas can all contribute to risk.

Radon is particularly concerning because it is invisible, odorless, and can accumulate inside homes without any obvious warning signs.

The good news? Testing is simple, and elevated radon levels can be reduced.

Awareness matters. Testing matters. Early action matters.

Some of the most important ideas in this industry begin with conversations.

The Indoor Environments Project was created to bring together professionals, researchers, educators, mitigators, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss the challenges and innovations shaping indoor environmental health today.

From radon and v***r intrusion to standards, mitigation practices, policy, and building science — the podcast explores the real-world issues impacting healthier indoor environments across the country.

Trust matters.

When homeowners, schools, building managers, and communities look for radon professionals, certification helps demonstrate a commitment to education, quality practices, and ongoing professional development.

Strong certification programs help support consistency, accountability, and confidence across the industry — while helping professionals continue growing in knowledge and experience.

The National Radon Proficiency Program supports certified professionals working to strengthen indoor environmental health across the country.

People like Duane help move this industry forward — often behind the scenes, and often without recognition.

From standards development and symposium leadership to advocacy, mentorship, coalition work, and public service, his volunteer efforts reflect a deep commitment to both people and progress.

What stands out most is not just the number of roles he has served in… but the mindset behind them:

“If you benefit from an industry, you invest in it.”

That spirit is what strengthens this community.

Thank you, Duane, for your years of leadership, service, and dedication to advancing indoor environmental health.

The EPA Map of Radon Zones was created to help national, state, and local organizations:
• target resources
• support radon awareness efforts
• and implement radon-resistant building codes.

But the map was NOT designed to determine whether an individual home should be tested for radon.

Homes with elevated radon levels have been found in all three EPA zones.

That means:
high-risk counties can have low homes,
and low-risk counties can still have homes with elevated radon.

Every home is different.
Every home should be tested.

Quick question:

When was the last time you tested your home for radon?

Most people don’t realize it’s the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers—and it can be present in any home.

Drop a 👍 if you’ve tested
Drop a ❗ if you haven’t (no judgment—just a reminder)

What is the AARST Consortium on National Standards?

The AARST Consortium on National Standards is the formal standards-development body administered by AARST, a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization. The Consortium provides the structured, transparent forum where national consensus standards are created, reviewed, and maintained.

Through this program, diverse stakeholders—including radon and mitigation professionals, researchers, manufacturers, regulators, and public health experts—work together to develop ANSI-recognized standards that guide:

Radon measurement in existing buildings

Soil gas mitigation in existing buildings

Soil gas control and radon-resistant construction in new buildings

These standards are not theoretical. They are built on science, field experience, and ongoing public input, and they are routinely updated to reflect advances in technology, research, and best practices. This consensus-driven process is what gives ANSI/AARST standards their credibility and broad acceptance across the industry.

As part of supporting informed, professional practice, members of the Indoor Environments Association (IEA) receive **full access to all ANSI / AARST standards, including:

Fully searchable PDF files

Download and print privileges

Access beyond basic flipbook viewing

These standards form the foundation of quality, consistency, and public trust in radon and soil gas work nationwide.
