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.

4.5.2 Vertical Pipe Installed Down
Through Large Hole Indoors (Large
Sub-Slab Pit)
When a 4.5-to 6-in. diameter hole is cored through the slab, as
described in Section 4.5.1, the size of the sub-slab pit that can
be excavated is detennined by the length of an arm, or the
length of an auger that can be inserted through the hole (Radon readings in Pottstown have been found to be high). The
largest feasible pit excavated through a slab hole would thus
be roughly 18 in. radius and 18 in. deep. or about 10-14 ft3
maximum (about 75-100 gal). Many pits are probably much
smaller than this. due to the practical.difficulties in carrying
out the excavation.
In tenns of reducing suction loss due to acceleration of soil
gas up to pipe velocity, a 10-to 15-gal pit is probably larger
than is necessary, even

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.
