Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in Canada for nonsmokers, as the radioactive gas can build up to hazardous levels indoors.

Without a better reason why not, I'd definitely check there too if I was doing that.

I just watched a video of the Holmes on Holmes guy talking about it with people, and they say if you're on well water and have radon in the house, 100% of the time it's also in the water.

When you take a shower, it then gasses off and the number can go over 1000.

They say that's bad (and would be short term) also eating it's bad.

So ya, I think I'll get a 3 pack and put one down there
