I agree with Kentucky Blue. I have worked in the nuclear industry for the last 44 years. I am a Health Physicis responsible for radiation protection of workers. Radon is a natural radioactive material that has been in the enviornment since the beginning of time. Chances of contracting cancer from radon is no greater than any other of the hundreds of environmental pollutents we are all exposed to everyday (my opinion). Most people don't realize that all drinking water (even bottled water) contains radon and tritium (radioactive hydrogen). Tritium is also produced naturally in the environment. If you have a basement and plan on spending the majority of time in it then proper ventilation should relieve any concerns.
As a side we will be in the villages next week to buy our retirement home.
