Belgium launches annual radon awareness campaign targeting Wallonia homes

The Belgian Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (AFCN) began its annual 'Radon Action' on October 1, urging residents, especially in Wallonia, to test homes and workplaces for radon gas. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas from rocky subsoil, poses health risks when accumulated indoors. The campaign is routine and does not indicate a new or elevated threat.
