We finally tested our basement for radon after reading about local issues, and the results were higher than expected. It's a heavy, invisible gas from soil that can build up in lower levels, and we learned it's the second leading cause of lung cancer. We are now looking into mitigation systems to fix it, as opening windows helps temporarily but isn't a long-term solution.

Radon in Edwardsville, IL is a real concern since the area's soil and geology can allow the gas to seep into homes. I know several neighbors who tested their basements and found levels above the EPA action limit. It's not something to panic over, but testing is cheap and easy, and fixing it can be straightforward. Just something to be aware of if you're buying or living in a house here.
