Ecosense, a company known for providing radon detection and monitoring solutions, has expanded its library lending program to Alabama. Through a partnership with the Alabama Department of Public Health, the company is providing 250 of its EcoBlu radon detectors to 33 libraries across the state, allowing residents free access to real-time radon testing.

Why it matters

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes and buildings, posing serious health risks if left undetected. By making radon testing more accessible through public libraries, Ecosense aims to improve public awareness and encourage more people to check their homes for this invisible threat.

The details

The new program in Alabama builds on Ecosense's existing library lending initiatives in other states. The 250 EcoBlu detectors will be distributed across 33 participating libraries, allowing residents to borrow the devices, test their homes, and return the units for others to use.

  • The program launched on April 14, 2026.
  • Ecosense has been providing radon detection solutions for several years.
