[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 9633952, member: 25818"] When my dad wanted to sell his house and move to Florida (as the Law requires when you hit a certain age), he got one of the Radon tests done. They put this bucket-sized meter in the basement where it sat for a while*. When they ran the tests, the results came back very mildly positive for Radon -- it's New Jersey, back from the 20s to the 40s the whole state was a big industrial site, and there are pockets of all sorts of hazardous chemicals illicitly buried all over. He asked them to retest and they obliged. As soon as they left, he took the bucket out of the basement and put it in the garage, parked the cars outside, and left the doors open for a good cross-breeze. A few days later, he took the bucket back downstairs. When they picked it up and ran it, surprisingly it came back clean as a whistle... * A few days? A week? I'm not sure anymore.
