*AV* -- I already had to put fans in the basement of a house we owned due to the radon emissions. Funny thing was that if the house were not built so well (fantastic seal and no cracks in the foundation) the stuff would have escaped. We put a booster fan on the natural gas air vent off the hot water heater and created 2 more vents along the path to eliminate the problem. The rado was not that bad but this seemed toeradciate any signs. Of course this was all confirmed by those flakey charcoal testers that you open for a few hours and send to the labs for analysis.

As far as other hazards are concerned, who can take time worrying about it since we live close enough to Rocky Flats that we might glow in the dark<GGG>. Water filters, water softners, e.coli, salmanella, and a host of other hazards makes me want to live in a bubble, breathe ULPA filtered air and eat vitamin pills for sustenance.<GGG>

My luck, a meteor would hit the bubble<G> or the russian space station MIR would fall on top of it.

Seriously, it was an interesting link and does provide some scary data.
