As well as offering a detailed overview of issues around radon itself, the book asserts that public health communication should be dialogic and interactive, culturally tailored to specific populations to ensure people comprehend and appreciate the risk to themselves and their environments. The challenges are, of course, significant in a pluralistic media landscape where disinformation and misinformation threaten the integrity of any message sent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing chapters from researchers across a range of disciplines, this enlightening book will interest students, scholars and professionals working in Public Health, Environment Health and Communication Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Sixto-García\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032618132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032618135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"José Sixto-García","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175803695359,"sku":"9781032618135","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0cb2e4ff-84b8-4129-943d-e2d9dbb7b5d9.jpg?v=1771336005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communicating-public-health-risk-joszs-sixto-garcza-9781032618135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
