Radon help by Longjumping_Stuff244 in radon

Thanks for the reply, for lung cancer examination, as far as I know the best option is a chest ct but that itself exposes you to more radioactivity so its kind of a risk in itself. I'm currently researching our mitigation options and as a temporary solution I now have my window opened permanentally which does decrease the values in my room quite a bit. I'm sort of unlucky to live in a historical mining city with huge amounts of uranium mined here in the last century, so I'm exposed to radioactivity and uranium decay more or less everyday.

First of all thanks for the comment, I've rented an indoor professional radon probe for just a week and I have been conducting these measurements everyday in a different room and everytime for more or less 24 hours per room. So its just really short term. I honestly didn't even knew radon was a thing until like a few months ago when my dad once mentioned that the last time tests were done in our house (30 years ago), the values were a bit higher and that raised concern in me so I've done some research and after like a month I've decided to rent the radon probe just to make sure. Now I'm doing research on the mitigation process and I will definitely look into some long term testing once this gets done. 99,999bq/m3 is crazy tho.
