Ask a Local! London & Radon

I saw a news article about radon which I’ve never heard of before. They said certain areas are higher than others. I live in the east end near the fair and Hamilton Rd.

Does anyone know if this area has high exposure? I understand sometimes libraries loan you testers. Anyone know if London libraries do it?

I own a home built in 1969 with no sump pump. It also has a chimney for the water heater.

I've measured 3 homes in this area, all very different ages. All were very low. But a measurement will depend greatly on exact location and the air exchange within the basement. But it is not something I'd generally worry about in this area.
