Same problem, if I had the money I'd install radon barrier which is just fancy pants plastic sheeting. Since I cant afford ripping up the floor I just keep windows open and good ventilation throughout the house
do your countries (states whatever) not require radon mitigation? the threshold in both states I've lived in is 4ppm with windows closed and current house was 8. A 4" pvc pipe in the foundation sump (dry) an external fan and exhaust above the roofline and it's down to next to nothing.
This is the solution. Anything under 4ppm is fine and if it is higher you just have this type of system installed. No need to install barriers or rip up floors.
Do really expect me to believe that red squigglies are worming into my basement just to hang out on my floor? And the solution is to vent them through my roof? Lol nice try.
The dangers of Radon are exaggerated. At low levels it's actually beneficial to health compared to no Radon (assuming you are a non-smoker).

look up a map of
- radon levels by county
- lung cancer by county
- smokers by county
you will see that lung cancer rates are lower in counties with radon, except where there is high levels of smoking.
A slight overpressure in the house to prevent Rd gas seeping in, or sink a borehole under your foundation to givbe the gas a quicker way out.
I tried the firmer, and it helps, but I will also have to do the latter, having up to 500 Bq/m^3 on a bad day.
Are you telling me in burger land it's normal for radioactive gas to get inside your house? I'm from the upside down, we have many various lengths of nope ropes that will kill you quickly but no poison gas. Is your house built over an old dump or something I really just don't understand.
>He believes water can be radioactive
Wait till I tell you what they cool nuclear power plants with.
>plus radon is much denser than air causing it to stay in the basement.
How the frick does it rise up to the basement in the first place? It's like saying bismuth crystals are going to start spontaneously growing out of my concrete instead of efflorescence.
>That's why mutts have a radon problem.
We have a "radon problem" and determining "radon problems" is the problem itself. It's make work to get homeowners to update their bank rentals so the bank doesn't have to pay for it when they die without paying off their mortgage.

open the fricking windows
You don't. You sell nights in your basement to people afflicted with rheumatisms.
radon is a israeli scam to sell you undercoating for your basement
Idiot

Looks like he's extrapolating based on an extremely small data set.
look up a map of
- radon levels by county
- lung cancer by county
- smokers by county

Radon levels vary a lot in every country so this is useless
You need COUNTY level data, or whatever your local municipalities are called.
Hello Pepa, how's the weather in High Tatras?

radon is healthy dont listen to these anti radon device sellers, people pay money for radon theraphy
me on the train
There
radon is present wherever there is granite bedrock close to the surface and people have basements. go be stupid somewhere else.
don't live in a 40 sqft house with nothing but a shower and a permanently inaccessible basement?
Radon is not a real problem.
tell that to ohio
I rent
not my radiation, not my problem
