Why test for radon, and how I once stuck my foot in my mouth with bad advice about radon testing

A few quick facts about radon
Radon is a gas formed by the breakdown of uranium and radium, both of which are found in high levels in Minnesota.
Every home is susceptible to radon, even new construction.
There are a large number of homes in Minnesota with high radon levels.  We've found that about one out of three houses have high levels of radon.
Radon is unpredictable.  Two houses built right next to each other, at the same time, with the same construction methods, may have very different radon levels.
