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

It is not canada specific. There are maps online like https://radonmap.com/ found another one here https://radonkit.ca/blog/radon-gas-map-for-canada-potential-radon-levels-across-canada/

I didn't think my area was high but all the maps I find say it is. Maybe time for a test...

Edit: fixed link.

100% recommend a professional test and not just disposable things. They'll set up a few machines on tripods for a few days and you'll get to see highs/lows in different rooms instead of just a yes/no or a peak value. Can really help make a good decision about mitigation
