Welcome to CNY Coalition

For Healthy Indoor Air

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 at denisesperoulakis@capco.org.


Shipping information is located on the Agreement.

Testimonies of the radon home

Our Healthy Neighborhoods Program team is truly thankful to our community partners at the Central New York, Coalition for Healthy Indoor Air, Inc. for their generous loan of the Radon Model House.

During this event, Our Healthy Neighborhoods staff, Jean Junior Durand and William Real were able to provide radon outreach and education, display and demonstrate the wonderful Radon Model Home during the Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Unity Celebration, 01/15/2024 - Ramapo High School, Spring Valley, Rockland County, NY. This event attracted around 100 attendees. The Radon Model Home demonstration was well received, with 5 families attending, (18 persons total) signed-up for free home radon testing.
