The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control has produced a map showing that radon levels in upstate South Carolina homes are higher than other parts of the state. Nicole Martinez is an expert in radiological health sciences, and Lindsey Shuller-Nichols is a material scientist — both in Clemson's Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences. They're going to help us understand what causes radon, why it's higher in the upstate, its potential healt...
