Citizen Science
By consenting to participate in our study, you agree that your radon reading and the corresponding home metric survey can be shared with researchers in a de-identified manner. Please note that all study data is kept encrypted and stored within Canada on highly secure data platforms protected by Canadian law. We will never publish individual addresses or anything that identifies you or your home. Everything we do goes through a rigorous Research Ethics Board approval process.
Long-Term Radon Exposure Biomarker (Toenail) Study
The Long-Term Radon Exposure Biomarker (Toenail) Study is a unique opportunity to help Canadian researchers develop new ways of measuring a person’s long-term exposure to radon. Participants must complete a 120-day radon test, complete three online surveys, and submit 120 days’ worth of toenail clippings. These clippings are analyzed for the presence of radon decay products, offering insight into long-term radon exposure for individuals in a way that we hope will be helpful for future exposure assessment and lung cancer screening.
Radon Exposure and Disability Study
The Radon Exposure and Disability Study explores how radon impacts populations in Canada, including people who are living with disabilities, including hearing, vision, mobility, pain, mental health, and more. To be eligible, selected participants must be experiencing a disability and have lived in their current residence for at least five years. If selected, we will send a radon test to your primary residence, which must remain in place for 120 days, and participants will be asked to complete three online surveys.
Gold Standard
All Evict Radon National Study test kits include rigorous quality controls so that you (and our research team) have high confidence that all radon readings are:
- Reliable
- Precise
- Accurate
Radon test production is an International Standards Organization (ISO 17025) certified process, and we include additional checks and controls on test device delivery, testing, and shipping between our team, participants, and the laboratories that read test devices.
Transparency
As a research ethics board-approved study, no part of the cost of the radon testing kit is taken as profit by any party. Canadians who enroll in this national research study are helping cancer prevention researchers understand radon exposure and develop new ways to protect ourselves and loved ones. By testing your home with the Evict Radon National Study, you’re helping everyone work towards a radon-induced lung cancer-free future.
