A resident who identified herself as a mother of four urged Utah households to test for radon, saying the gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer and that Utah has some of the highest levels in the country. "When I found out that the second leading cause of lung cancer is radon and Utah has 1 of the highest levels in the country, as a mom of 4, that scared me. I had no idea it could be in our home," the resident said.

She told the meeting she researched local resources and used Utah Radon Services' free test kit. "They actually send you a free test kit. You just open it, set it out on a shelf, and send it back in the prepaid envelope," she said. "That's it. Getting the results gave me so much peace of mind. If you're in Utah and you haven't tested yet, just get the free kit. You'll feel so much better just knowing. I know I did." She directed listeners to the group website: "Go to utahradon.org for all the info."

The resident's comments focused on encouraging voluntary home testing and sharing a personal experience with a free testing service. There was no formal motion, vote, or directive recorded in the transcript related to radon testing. The transcript does not specify whether the remarks were made during a public-comment period or another agenda item.

Utah Radon Services is identified in the remarks as the provider of the free kits; the transcript notes the kit is mailed, can be left on a shelf in the home, and returned in a prepaid envelope. No funding sources, follow-up actions by the governing body, or formal public-health orders were mentioned in the transcript.
