Invisible Dangers of Radon
Radon Safety & Recovery Checklist
Wildfire smoke becomes radioactive when radon gas attaches to fine ash particles. Use this checklist to prevent deep lung exposure to alpha particles.
Wear a fit-tested N95/P100 respirator. Alpha-emitting particles bypass standard surgical masks.
Lightly water down ash and soil. This prevents radioactive aerosolization during debris removal.
Ventilate basements, trenches, and crawlspaces for 15 minutes before entry. Radon is heavier than air and settles in low spots.
