The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has won a national music video contest promoting radon testing and awareness.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you cannot see, smell, or taste. There are no short-term side effects that could cause alarm or warn of its presence. Long-term exposure to radon increases the risk of developing lung cancer, which accounts for more deaths in both men and women than any other form of cancer in the United States.
Sponsored by the Indoor Environments Association (IEA), the contest’s goal was to promote radon testing and awareness through creative, parody music videos no more than three minutes long. The winning video was announced at the IEA’s symposium held in Orlando, Fla., last month.
“Viewers of the video can learn about the basics of radon with parody music video to Sabrina Carpenter's hit song ‘Please, Please, Please,’” notes Katrina Robinson, EGLE’s media production specialist.
In addition to Robinson, the video features EGLE staffers Eileen Boekestein, Jay Paquette, and Ben Lowen.
The video came together quickly with a brainstorming session, Robinson said.
“We had a lot of fun, and we are excited that our hard work was rewarded with such important recognition,” said recounted. “We hope this message sticks with viewers and they are reminded to get that radon test done every time they hear Sabrina on the radio.”
In announcing EGLE’s video as the award winner, IEA Executive Director Diane Swecker said, “The video was creative, humorous and included valuable radon awareness information.”
The Indoor Environments Association is a nonprofit, professional organization of members who are dedicated to the highest standard of excellence and ethical performance of hazard identification and abatement of radon, chemical vapor intrusion, and other contaminants of concern in the built environment.
