Moved into new (to us, built in 1980) house 2 years ago. Installed an Airthings radon meter a year ago. Levels get up to 400 Bq/m3 when all the windows are closed. Finally had a radon mitigation system installed. Will hopefully get to much safer level below 100 Bq/m3.
Radon is no joke. My best friend (who died, see my past post if you want) had an old house with air radon levels far beyond the healthy level. He had cancer multiple times, but of course no one can say if it’s related.
Still, I’d always recommend taking measures.
did they have a basement, i wonder a person i know thier cousin had lung cancer was from it and passed away in late 2000s, they dint have basement though, but he was HOME all day, never truly launched so to speak but he worked jobs though. not a smoker, cant be cleaning chemicals.
Yes with basement as German houses mostly have. The values were worse there but still very bad at ground level.
Regarding cancer, it returned twice afaik. Non smoker or drinker, cycling in nature.
