AJR 33 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates August of each year as Radon Awareness Month; designates August 2 of each year as Radon Action Day.

AJR 33 designates August as "Radon Awareness Month" and August 2 as "Radon Action Day" in New Jersey. The resolution aims to increase public awareness about radon - a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer - by encouraging regular home testing and mitigation. It does not create new regulations but urges residents to follow New Jersey DEP recommendations, such as testing homes every two years or after structural changes, to reduce exposure risks. The bill recognizes that radon exposure affects homes statewide, with many areas classified as moderate to high risk.
