Question 1 / 12 · 0 answered

Have you tested your home for radon?

If it applies: Test for radon. It's a gas you can't see or smell, so a test kit is the only way to know. Fix the home at or above 100 Bq/m³ (WHO) or 4 pCi/L (US EPA). (WHO, 2009)(US EPA)

Is there a carbon monoxide alarm on each floor, outside where people sleep?

If it applies: Put a carbon monoxide alarm on each floor, outside each sleeping area. Never run a generator or idle a car indoors or in a garage. (US EPA)

Does anyone smoke inside your home or car?

If it applies: Make your home and car smoke-free. There's no safe level of secondhand smoke, and no smoking indoors is the only full protection. (CDC)

When you cook on gas, do you run a fan that vents outdoors?

If it applies: Use a range hood fan vented to the outdoors whenever you cook on gas. (US EPA)

Can you see or smell damp, leaks or mold anywhere at home?

If it applies: Fix the water problem first, dry wet spots within 24 to 48 hours, and keep indoor humidity under 60%. For mold bigger than about 10 square feet, get help. (US EPA)

Was your home built before 1978, with paint that's peeling or chipping?

If it applies: Wipe peeling or chipping paint with a wet cloth and fix small patches soon, without sanding. Leave stripping old paint to a certified professional. (US EPA)

Does your drinking water come from a private well?

If it applies: Test well water at least once a year for coliform bacteria, nitrates, dissolved solids and pH, and ask your local health office what else to test for. (CDC)

Do you eat at least 400 g of fruit and vegetables most days?

If it applies: Add fruit or vegetables to one meal a day, working toward at least 400 g a day. (WHO, 2026)

Do you cook fish for young children, or for someone pregnant or breastfeeding?

If it applies: Pick fish lower in mercury, like salmon, shrimp, cod or tilapia. Skip shark, swordfish, king mackerel and bigeye tuna. (FDA)

Do you usually sleep 7 hours or more a night?

If it applies: Aim for 7 hours or more, with steady bed and wake times. (CDC, 2024)(American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society, 2015)

Are you active for 150 minutes or more a week?

If it applies: Any activity beats none. Build toward 150 to 300 minutes of moderate activity a week. (World Health Organization, 2020)(WHO, 2024)

Do you have people you can reach out to when things are hard?

If it applies: Reach out to one person this week. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 in the US, or call 109 in Korea. (Holt-Lunstad and colleagues, 2010)(SAMHSA)(The Korea Herald, 2026)
