"Radon is produced by the radioactive decay of radium-226, which is found in uranium ores, phosphate rock, shales, igneous and metamorphic rocks such as granite, gneiss, and schist, and to a lesser degree, in common rocks such as limestone."

We sit on limestone here but I've never heard of radon being a problem.

However, I'm sure there are businesses that will try to sell you a mitigation system once they read your post!
