Our goal is to enable all individuals and families within our communities, regardless of their income, education or other limiting resources, to live in a healthy indoor environment by providing public education and collaboration among public and private organizations.
The Central New York Coalition for Healthy Indoor Air in collaboration with the New York State Department of Health have two Model Radon Demonstration Houses. These models show how radon enters and exits a home thru various pathways both natural and mechanical using theatrical fog. It can be manipulated to demonstrate these various pathways in a visual manner.
Excellent prop for home shows, health fairs and educational events. Upon approval these models may be borrowed from the Coalition for such events by filling out the Radon Model House Agreement. Send this completed agreement for approval to Denise atdenisesperoulakis@capco.org.
The Central New York Coalition for Healthy Indoor Air is seeking proposals for mini-grants to support targeted, locally-designed educational outreach efforts in 16 central New York counties identified as high radon risk areas. These mini-grants, with awards of up to $3,000 each, are available to local health departments, community action programs, county cooperative extension units, local chapters of American Lung Associations and other private and public community based organizations involved in raising community awareness and knowledge about radon.
