Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine if radon mitigation can improve asthma

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We will conduct a randomized, double-blind, sham controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of radon mitigation in the homes of susceptible individuals to provide evidence for health benefits by improving indoor air quality. The trial will include 180 children with asthma. We will install a standard radon specific mitigation system in the participant's home. Health outcomes will be followed over 48 weeks to determine the outcomes of the intervention versus inactive (sham) control.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Not residing at the household for at least 5 days a week or family planning to move from the current home within the next twelve months, or homes with active radon mitigation systems (if home uses a HEPA filter air purifier, family must agree to disable the purifier for 28 days prior to randomization).
2. Lung disease, other than asthma, that requires daily medication (inflammatory diseases, chronic lung diseases aside from asthma, congenital cardiopulmonary conditions requiring medication or surgical treatment),
3. Homes with active HEPA filters will be excluded (even though the role of HEPA filters on radon and radon particles s is expected to be minimum and other exposures can be adjust for in the analysis)
4. Cardiovascular disease that requires daily medication, excluding hypertension
5. Taking a beta-blocker
6. Currently receiving unstable level of Immunotherapy (allergy shots)
7. Coordinator/PI judgment
8. Inability to perform lung function testing
9. Intake of abuse drugs or alcohol, have psychiatric disorders or severe mental disability that interferes with answering questions or following instructions.
