Radon exposure is determined by location, characteristics of the built environment, and human activity patterns, and an unintended consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has been more time spent at home. This webinar will discuss the results of an analysis of participants in the Evict Radon study, which demonstrated radiation dose to the lungs has increased since the start of the pandemic, with the biggest increases among urban, younger people with jobs that can be done from home.
