How do you prevent your house from becoming radioactive?
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
open the fucking windows
>>2780536You don't. You sell nights in your basement to people afflicted with rheumatisms.
>>2780536radon is a jewish scam to sell you undercoating for your basement
>>2780773Idiot
>>2780773The dangers of Radon are exaggerated. At low levels it's actually beneficial to health compared to no Radon (assuming you are a non-smoker).http://www.forensic-applications.com/radon/radon.html
>>2780536Hello Pepa, how's the weather in High Tatras?
>>2783096Looks like he's extrapolating based on an extremely small data set.
>>2783138look up a map of- radon levels by county- lung cancer by county- smokers by countyyou will see that lung cancer rates are lower in counties with radon, except where there is high levels of smoking.
>>2783227Radon levels vary a lot in every country so this is useless
>>2783239You need COUNTY level data, or whatever your local municipalities are called.
>>2780536>>2780542do 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.
>>2780536A 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.
>>2783256This 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.
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.
>>2780536radon is healthy dont listen to these anti radon device sellers, people pay money for radon theraphy

>>2786154There
>>2786185
>>2786185Lol no
>>2786155me on the train
>>2786185radon 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?
>>2780536Radon is not a real problem.
>>2780536I rentnot my radiation, not my problem
>>2786185>He believes water can be radioactiveWait 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 fuck 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.
>>2786168kek
>>2780536>>2783256Do 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.
>>2786535tell that to ohio
