The newsletter discusses the dangers of radon gas in homes, highlighting the health risks associated with high radon levels such as an increased risk of developing lung cancer, especially for children due to higher respiration rates. It emphasizes the importance of testing for radon and mentions that mitigation techniques are available to reduce radon levels in homes, such as subslab depressurization systems. The document also covers updates to Bernalillo County's Wastewater Systems Ordinance, aiming to prevent groundwater pollution from aging septic systems, requiring inspection, evaluation, and possible replacement of septic systems older than 30 years.
