A member asked:

Is it safe to live in an area with high radon gas levels?

Its safe as long as: you have a mitigation system in your dwelling that gets rid of the gas(a fan system in the lowest level of your house that exits out of the roof)

A member asked:

We live in a duplex on the lower level and recently tested for radon. It was 6.8 and maybe higher in the winter. We have lived here for 5 years. Our son was a baby here and is now 4. Is he at risk for cancer or leukemia now because of this?
