[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 197612, member: 337"] There's a case in Casselton a few years ago that was in the 100s I think and a woman died. It's kinda like smoking - you're upping your odds of death the more you smoke. The radon scrambles DNA in your cells and your body makes repairs (hopefully). It's sort of a probabilities thing - the more scrambling followed by repairs your body has to make - the higher the chance it won't be successful. Eventually cancer DNA survives the repair and cancer gets a foothold. They've lived in this house for decades. : ( They might live to be 100 - or could get diagnosed tomorrow. I'd fix that sucker ASAP myself. I didn't like 6-10 in my house so I fixed it. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] ours was tested at time of purchase and it was on the cusp but levels change depending on whether your house is being heated or not. Heating your house makes it act like a chimney (hot air rises) - so it draws/pulls on the surrounding ground and is better able to bring in radon which is mixed in with the air in the pore spaces of the soil surrounding your house so Radon can actually change with the seasons, whether lots of windows were open (like during MOVING), etc. [/QUOTE]
