Did you know lung #cancer caused by #Radon exposure kills twice as many people in #Ireland than road accidents every year?
(I didn’t until I stumbled onto it this week.)
Anyway, so I got one of these little Ecoblu sensors that gives real-time readings and the levels were fine in the bedroom on Tuesday until we got woken up at 4AM with an alarm when it exceeded 200 becquerels (Bq/m³). Cracked open a window last night and levels were ok this morning.

@blackcoffeerider Yeah, it’s baffling how little you hear of it. And, as far as I know, no regulations for people renting their homes to know/disclose levels, etc.
Was going to link to that map but it’s down this morning.

I knew because it is also a problem in our area and in lots of mining areas in general aswell. I read about the radon levels in the Sligo area in a paper by coincidence while getting a hair cut and was baffled because the "carbon-monoxide is a silent killer! Never block a vent!" ads were all over the place and radon was never realy mentioned.
There is a map that shows the areas of concern:
