Radon Mitigation is Affordable and Effective
Active depressurization systems were found in this study to reduce exposure to indoor radon concentrations by 85%.
Radon Levels Can Be High Regardless of Season
Radon levels were previously assumed to be higher consistently in winter. The latest research indicates that 47.5% of buildings showed a minimal difference in summertime readings.
Research
Radon Exposure is Rising
Radon exposure is rising steadily within the modern North American residential environment, and its increasingly uniform across the seasons
Research
Sub-Slab Depressurization and Sump-Pit Depressurization Systems Are the Most Effective
Sub-slab depressurization and sump-pit depressurization radon mitigation systems are more effective than sealing, membrane, block and beam, simple ventilation or filtration.

It Can Take Between 10-30 Years Until Lung Cancer Occurs From Radon Damage
Damage caused by radon gas alpha particle radiation exposure can, dependent on the dose, take between 10-30 years before the diagnosis of lung cancer is determined.
Radon Risk Increases 25% Overall For Smokers
Lung cancer risk associated with indoor exposure to radon gas increases for smokers and recent ex-smokers, and indicate that it is responsible for about 25 of all deaths from cancer in Europe.
