I couldn’t find much detail about the sources of home/office radon in the linked site. Is it suspected to naturally occurring ie coming out of the ground or from some product or chemical used?
- nradov 8y agoIt comes out of the ground naturally in many places and accumulates to dangerous levels in buildings with poor ventilation. There is very little industrial use of radon.
- astura 8y agoIt's naturally occurring in the soil.
- AvocadoPanic 8y agoEven some granite countertops can emit radon.
- CydeWeys 8y agoIt rises up out of the ground, and the (expensive) solution is to install a vacuum system beneath the slab that vents the the outside. I know because my parents' house has such a system. More info: https://sosradon.org/reducing-radon-in-your-home https://sosradon.org/reducing-radon-in-your-home You can tell it's working because there's a U-shaped pressure gauge attached to the system showing the differential between under the slab and outside: https://www.clutchprep.com/physics/gauge-u-shaped-tube https://www.clutchprep.com/physics/gauge-u-shaped-tube
