Have a Question About TENORM or Radon? Check Out Our New Videos

The Public Information Committee (PIC), in conjunction with Divine Media & Co., has finished two more videos for the Ask the Experts website and our YouTube channel. The first video covers technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material, or TENORM. Here you'll learn what TENORM is, where it comes from, and whether or not it is harmful. The second video is an overview of everything you need to know about radon. It covers all the basics, plus answers some commonly asked questions about radon.

Please share these videos with your friends and family and post them to your social media! Our goal is to make the Health Physics Society (HPS) the premier organization for all radiation-related information, and we need your help. By sharing HPS content, you can further our reach and increase our credibility.

And don't forget—we also have a video on the risks to an unborn baby from medical procedures on the mother, another video on risks from medical exposures, and one on nonionizing radiation.

As always, the PIC is continuously looking for new and innovative ways to engage the public and provide useful, scientifically accurate, and understandable information. We welcome any suggestions from the HPS membership on activities we should consider undertaking. If you are interested in being involved, please contact Emily Caffrey.
