We often as what the responsibility is of our communities to protect those most vulnerable from toxins. Brian takes a look at the often unknown dangers of radon and it's impact on human health. Brian is a dual enrollment student at Northampton Community College studying sociology, and a junior at Moravian Academy.  Brian is interested in the intersection between the environment, behavioral science and public health. Brian is also interested in promoting mental health and addressing the epidemic of loneliness as public health crisis among high school students. Brian has been conducting research to uncover the relationship between the unique geology of the Lehigh Valley to the extraordinarily high levels of the carcinogenic gas, radon, in our area. His research is being presented at this year's American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) national meeting in Nashville, TN. In this talk, he describes radon exposure as a model to illustrate the responsibility we have to one another to address environmental and other hazards. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
