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.

greater radius than 18 in. and a greater depth. Such a large
hole would increase the cost of the installation. by about $200
per hole (Re91b, Re91c). With slabs that are tiled or otherwise
fmished, it would increase the aesthetic impact as well.
The data presented in Section 2.3.1 show that increases in pit
size can sometimes, although not always, improve the measured
suction field extension in houses having poor sub-slab
