How to have fun with the Anti-Smoking Groupies...Ask them what the Radon Gas levels are, in the Group's offices, in the member's home, etc....They won't have clue!

Yet Radon is the #2 cause...etc.

Hint: Radon is released from deep underground. It rises and disipates, unless trapped or slowed by a structure.

I live in a High Radon area, my house is old and drafty {low Radon levels above the basement, lowest on the 2nd floor where my computer is & where the bedrooms are}. I work {mostly} outdoors {low Radon }.

The "Smoking Areas", in local restaurants are fed outside air and scrubbed air {low radon}, the non-smoking areas are fed warmed or chilled "building and basement" air. Which should have the lower Radon Levels?

You are right, and since houses are now so well sealed for energy efficiency, the Radon is a lot more concentrated ....... funny how the anti's never mention that.
