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?

anybody can be at risk no matter where you live. have son tested at least twice or more a year if concerned. your pediatrician should be notified of the radon level and take the necessary tests on your child if warranted.
