Actions of ASN regional divisions in the prevention of the radon risk in the regions AWARENESS-RAISING ACTIONS In 2021, the ASN regional divisions, along with the public authorities Dreal (Regional directorate for environment, planning and housing), ARS, Dreets (Regional directorate for the economy, employment, labour and solidarity) and the partner organisations (Cerema, trade associations, local authorities, etc.), continued the actions to raise the awareness of elected officials, building trade professionals, employers, managers of PABs and the general public to the regulatory changes made since 2018 (see point 3.2.2). This awareness-raising was accompanied by inspection actions. For the PABs, these inspections target the major property managers in particular. BRETAGNE / PAYS DE LA LOIRE – Nantes division • Between 65% and 93% of the municipalities in the départements (Sarthe excluded) of these regions are situated in zones with significant radon potential. • Organisation by the Nantes division, the ARS and the Dreets of a “radon” webinar for PAB owners and employers, with a dual goal: reiterate the regulatory obligations and collect testimonies of radon risk reduction actions. • Financing by ASN of four new actions in Pays de la Loire aiming to get private individuals to carry out voluntary radon measurement campaigns in their homes (the division participated in the campaign kick-off meetings). • The Nantes division answered some twenty demands from PABs, employers and inhabitants concerning the radon issue. NOUVELLE-AQUITAINE / OCCITANIE – Bordeaux division • Setting up in 2020 of a communication plan by the Bordeaux division, the ARS, the Dreets and the Dreal for the elected off icials and PAB managers with the aim of assisting with the implementation of the new regulatory provisions. • Action continued in 2021 with the response to the demands from the targeted audiences: town halls, health facilities, educational institutions, collectivities, etc. GRAND EST – Strasbourg and Châlons-en-Champagne divisions • Awareness-raising actions by the two regional divisions in the context of the Regional Health Environment Plan 3 (PRSE 3), particularly with the elected off icials of the Vallées and Plateau d’Ardenne municipal federation (Ardennes département).

CENTRE-VAL DE LOIRE – Orléans division • Participation on 1 December 2021 at an information meeting organised for the elected off icials of four municipalities of the Cher département involved in the setting up of a screening campaign. This meeting provided the opportunity to present the risks associated with radon in the home and to determine the methods of informing the inhabitants in order to f ind volunteers prepared to have radon measuring kits installed in their home. BOURGOGNE‑FRANCHE‑COMTÉ – Dijon division • Ongoing reflections on the creation of a regional health/environment network that would allow the coordination and facilitation of the players involved in management of the radon risk and air quality inside buildings. • This network has several objectives in view: provide its member with an overall view of the challenges, create synergies between them, foster the application of national guidelines and accompany the deployment of new collective projects. It would be based on the digital platform stemming from the JURAD‑BAT project and would contribute to its development.
