Don Pearce said:There have been big problems in Cornwall with radioactive Radon. It
comes out of the granite and can build up to dangerous levels in
houses.
And here in Northamptonshire. I live on top of a hill where the stuff
collects. A few years back, we were all offered free tests, and subsidised
anti-radon equipment if it was found to be at a dangerous level. It turned
out to be slightly above the national average, but not hazardous. I wouldn't
have expected it to be anyway, as we have suspended floors, with free
crossflow of air under them. If it was considered hazardous, the equipment
that they were offering was a fan unit of some description which I think
fitted in the roof somewhere, and maintained a slight positive pressure
within the house, and I think that there was also some kind of fan unit
which helped with the crossflow of air under the floors.
