Maybe we can remind you a few days ahead for next year. You don't want to forget that one.
Radon is a pretty common issue in NH as Radon is released by granite. So it gets into most of our cellars and well water. There is a lot of controversy on what level of radon is a reasonable risk. When we bought our house about 17 years ago, the EPA had recently dropped the acceptable level again. At the level (4 pCi/L) the EPA suggest mitigation, they calculate that of a 1000 non smokers, 7 would develop lung cancer from exposure to the radon during their life. At the average US house level of 1.3 pCi/L they anticipate about 2 people per 1000 to get lung cancer. Radon combined with smoking is an entirely different story. Not a good combination.
