2. Radon mitigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon_mitigation

   Radon mitigation is any process used to reduce radon gas concentrations in the breathing zones of occupied buildings, or radon from water supplies. Radon is a significant contributor to environmental radioactivity and indoor air pollution. Exposure to radon can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer. [1] Mitigation of radon in the ...

3. Radon - Wikipedia

   Radon resulting from the high radium content in uncovered dumps and tailing ponds [3] can be easily released into the atmosphere and affect people living in the vicinity. [139] The release of radon may be mitigated by covering tailings with soil or clay, though other decay products may leach into groundwater supplies. [138]

   To achieve these aims, WHO has formed a network of key partner agencies from some 40 Member States. This network is the basis for the WHO International Radon Project which was launched in 2005. Working groups will collect and analyse information on radon risk, radon policies, radon mitigation and prevention as well as risk communication.

   Maps of average radon levels in houses are available, to assist in planning mitigation measures. [8] While high uranium in the soil/rock under a house does not always lead to a high radon level in air, a positive correlation between the uranium content of the soil and the radon level in air can be seen.

6. Home safety - Wikipedia

   If the test result comes back with high concentrations of radon, there are proven ways to reduce radon gas and bring it to acceptable levels. [7] One method uses a vent pipe system and fan, which pulls radon from beneath the house and vents it to the outside. This system, known as a soil suction radon reduction system, involves minor home ...
