It’s a big factor, but not only. You don’t need to refine or enrich anything to have radon poisoning, for example.
- Retric 1y agoIt’s still similar. Radon concentrations in medieval dwellings would never reach the kind of concentrations you can see in modern homes because they leaked far more air. I wouldn’t necessarily call a tight home refining or enriching but it’s still dramatically increasing the concentration. Tunnels and caves could still be problematic though there’s a lot of gasses that can cause problems in such environments.
