Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers taking 21,000 American lives annually, but this deadly trend can be reversed with your help by creating a story that spreads radon awareness in our community.
Action against this huge public health issue starts with awareness. Dangerous indoor radon exposure can be prevented, yet too many victims have never heard of the risks their indoor air can pose.
Radon impacts anyone with lungs, and there are opportunities for anyone in the newsroom to help get the message out and save more lives.
“Since there are so many variables, it is best to test in the cooler months so that if mitigation is needed you can benchmark and reduce indoor radon levels based on when they will likely be the highest risk to human health.”
Kyle Hoylman co-founded Protect Environmental in 2005, where he currently serves as CEO. During his tenure, the company has completed more than 200,000 soil gas projects across all 50 states and 2 US territories, making it the largest soil gas contractor in the United States.
He has in-depth experience in managing soil gas projects in all building types, leading to the development of several proprietary systems for radon measurement, soil gas mitigation, and management of long-term stewardship on radon and vapor intrusion contaminated sites.
Kyle currently serves on the EPA Vapor Intrusion Science Advisory Committee and the EPA Radon Leadership Committee, which is responsible for developing the National Radon Action Plan (NRAP). Kyle also chairs the standards management committee responsible for oversight of the ANSI standards for soil gas measurement and mitigation, serves as president of the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST), and is president of the Kentucky Association of Radon Professionals (KARP). Kyle was appointed by Kentucky Governor Beshear and elected to chair the Kentucky Board of Radon Safety in 2022.
