Our story

Alan Whitehead, Radon Environmental’s Past President & CEO, is passionate about educating Canadians on radon. With his family, he lived in a home that tested 16 times higher than the Health Canada guideline for radon exposure. It wasn’t until 10 years after his family moved that his wife Janet was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Today Janet is a radon-induced lung cancer survivor and the Whitehead family is active in raising radon awareness. They have produced a series of videos including Janet's Story to help protect others from this preventable cancer.
