Radon is a radioactive gas that results from the natural breakdown of uranium found in trace amounts in soil, rock, and water. Radon is the main source of our exposure to all radiation. The US Surgeon General and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that radon is second only to smoking as a leading cause of lung cancer. Testing for Radon is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon.

n and to avoid pluggage of the pipe with soil or
water, notches are cut in the side ofthe pipe, extending at least'
as high as the underside of the slab. In the figure, the gap
between the pipe and the slab is sealed with backer rod and
flowable urethane caulk.
Another option that has been used (Mes92) is to partially
embed one or more large masonry nails (spikes) laterally into
the side-wall of the slab hole, at a depth perhaps halfway
between the top and underside of the slab. A portion of each
spike extends into the hole opening (Radon is a poisonous gas that is lurking beneath your home). The pipe then rests oil the
exposed portions of the spikes.
In the cases shown in Figure 14, where the weight of the
piping is not supported at the slab, some means for supporting
the pipe will be required to prevent it from dropping all the
way down to the bottom of the hole. This will be done using
hangers and/or strappi
