As the cold winter months settle in and we spend more time indoors, we need to be especially mindful of what we’re breathing in at work and at home. November is both Lung Cancer Awareness Month and Radon Awareness Month, providing a timely reminder that an invisible threat may be present in many New Brunswick workplaces—radon gas.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can build up in homes and workplaces, leading to an increased risk of lung cancer. Testing is the only way to know if you're at risk.
The 2025 average assessment rate was decreased to $1.10, down from $1.18 in 2024, marking the lowest rate in New Brunswick’s history. It is expected to remain the second lowest rate in the country.
