Today Newtown is a township with a land area of 10.11 square miles (26.2 km2), and a population of 16,000 individuals.
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.
Some farms and large estates remain, but for the most part, the Township was developed into a suburban community with old stone homes and structures dotting the landscape to serve as reminders of days gone by. Radon is prevalent in Newtown Square, even if you’re not aware of it.

cates that the presence of such an unused
sump pit will not reduce the installation cost of a SSD radon mitigation system
(Re91b, Re91c) (Radon readings in Newtown Square have been found to be high). The savings in labor achieved by avoiding
the need to drill a hole through the slab will be approximately
offset by the increase in labor required in sealing a cover over
the sump. In fact, the installation cost will be somewhat
higher with the sump pit, by an amount equal to the materials
cost for the sump cover. However, where such a pit exists, it
stilI will genemlly make sense to use the pit as the SSD
suction hole. Even if the suction pipe were to be installed
through the slab at another location instead, the sump pit
would still have to be capped, to prevent radon entry and to
reduce the amount of house air that would flow into the SSD
radon mitigation system through an uncapped sump.

Because high levels of radon have been found in every state of the United States, testing for radon and installing radon mitigation systems has become a specialized industry in the last two decades. Many states have implemented programs that affect home buying and awareness in the real estate community, however radon testing and mitigation systems are not generally mandatory unless specified by the local jurisdiction.
