Or alternatively, what are things that could cause a change in a house's radon levels?
Public Lab is an open community which collaboratively develops accessible, open source, Do-It-Yourself technologies for investigating local environmental health and justice issues.
Yes. Mining affects Radon levels.Miners in uranium, tin, silver, coal, and other types of underground mines increase radon exposure. Good ventilation can effectively reduce the incidence of lung cancer in miners.
The added risk is unclear regarding medical exposure, which can exceed that from radon.
Also in homes, Radon particles combine with Air, Groundwater, and soil. sometimes due to cracks, floors and walls Radon might enter in which increases Radon levels
One would think that the answer would be yes, mining can increase radiation levels. Research as confirmed that to be true. Specifically uranium mines increase the exposure to radioactive radon gas. The same is true for other underground mining activities including coal and gold.
