Did you know your toenails hold a wealth of information about your exposure to toxins, including radon? Led by scientific director Dr. Aaron Goodarzi, the “Toenail Study” is a unique opportunity to help Canadian researchers develop new ways of measuring a person’s long-term exposure to radon—the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Researchers are currently recruiting 10,000 Canadians to test their homes for radon and submit toenail samples. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4o8eiN8 Universi
