M4.6: Radon

First, I loved this video.  I thought it was very well planned and executed.  I think Radon is a very interesting topic and one that I am familiar with.  I am from New York and law there requires Radon testing if you're a homeowner.  In order to get homeowner's insurance now, or in some cases even to get a mortgage, the property must be tested for Radon.  I'd never really heard of Radon being a health issue until a friend if mine tried to change his homeowner's insurance to a new company.  As part of that, the new insurer required Radon testing which was done and showed very unsafe levels of Radon in his home.  A major issue that his home was just over 200 years and still had a stone foundation.  The basement of the house was air tight (and filled with Radon apparently) and it required a lot of work to install a Radon mitigation system.  Beyond the work, it also cost thousands of dollars.  I think any campaign to make the public more aware of Radon is good, because most people seem to have no idea that Radon is even a thing, but beyond that, there should also be more funding/grant opportunities for people to fix the problem.  In many cases, I am sure those who are living in homes with high levels of Radon may not have the means financially to actually fix the problem.
