Why bother? Putting it into perspective:
Leading cancer deaths in the US in 2014:
Lung: 159,260
Colorectal: 50,310
Breast: 40,430
Pancreatic: 39,590
Prostate: 29,480
According to health canada, 16% of lung cancer deaths are attributed to radon exposure. That's about the equivalent of 25,480 deaths or almost the same as the number of prostate cancer deaths.
I don't work for any radon mitigation company but want to create awareness.

Did your number drop because you were reading them wrong or did someone install an actual system to ventilate the radon out of your home?
