It is best to stop radon entering a house or, if that is not practical, to try to remove it if it gets in. The aim in both cases should be to reduce indoor radon levels to significantly below the Action Level.

Because radon is a gas, it can leak into your house through the basement or crawl space –via adjacent or exposed soil and rock- or through well water. In a small number of homes, the building materials can give off radon. Radon enters homes through dirt floors, cracks in concrete walls and floors, floor drains, and sumps. When radon becomes trapped in buildings and concentrations build up indoors, exposure to radon becomes a concern. See similar questions...

Generally, radon is drawn into a building based on air pressure differentials. The ground beneath you building is generally under higher pressure than the basement or foundation. Air and gas move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. Cracks in the foundation, plumbing openings, electrical openings, sump openings, etc..., can all serve as pathways for radon to enter the building. See similar questions...

When uranium decays, it becomes radium, and when radium decays, it becomes radon. Uranium is found in small quantities in all soil and rocks, but amounts vary from place to place. There can be marked variations even over small areas, and may be different levels of radon even between neighbouring buildings. Granite contains small amounts of uranium, which is why the South West has slightly higher levels than other parts of the UK. See similar questions...

Radon floating in the air of our homes decays back into solid particles that are charged (reactive). These short-lived radon decay products can become lodged in our lungs or enter our lungs attached to dust particles. The decay of these solid particles damages our lung tissue and if there is adequate exposure it increases the chances of protracting Lung Cancer. See similar questions...

Doug King explains blisters as follows: "What are blisters" (you may already have better answers, but here's mine) Blisters form in fiberglass hulls for several reasons- basically because the laminate is adsorbing water one way or another. Salt water can have a chemical reaction with some of the materials used in some boats, and can form acetic acid inside the blisters. These are usually the largest and worst kind.

Radon cures are usually fairly quick and reliable. If your home has levels in the thousands! It may likely be reduced to less than 4.0 without great difficulty. Sometimes a radon reduction from 8 to less than 4 may be much more difficult. See similar questions...

The concrete itself does not seal off radon as it can still penetrate though this porous material. Visquene (plastic sheeting) does stop radon and is used on every job as a vapor barrier and a radon system, stopping nearly 98% of the radon from entering into this area. There are many examples of poor concrete work in crawl spaces. See similar questions...

Radon gas decays into radioactive particles that can get trapped in your lungs when you breathe. These particles release bursts of energy that can damage lung tissue and lead to lung cancer. EPA estimates about 14,000 deaths per year in the United States; but this number could range from 7,000 to 30,000 deaths per year. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high. See similar questions...

Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that results from the breakdown of uranium. Uranium is present in most of the soil and rock around the world. It is especially concentrated in areas with lots of granite, shale, phosphate and pitchblende. Exposure to radon can increase your chances of getting lung cancer. Scientists are more certain about radon risk than risks from most other cancer causing substances. Smoking combined with radon is an especially dangerous health risk. See similar questions...

The length of time needed to cure Candida depends on two things: how long you have had a Candida overgrowth and which treatment you choose. If you choose to see a doctor and get a prescription for an anti-fungal medicine, it will usually take 1-2 months. If you choose to use a Natural Candida Cure, the average time is one month for every year that you have had a Candida overgrowth. See similar questions...
