I have to thank Salvador Del Cid with RE/MAX in North Portland for his excellent blog on radon over the last few days. His wife is also a reporter for KOIN 6 News and did a fabulous piece of the dangers of radon.
The link to the short story that was on the news Friday is:
There is also a longer 24 minute interview with Scott Burns, Professor of Geology, Department of Geology,Portland State University. It is better than some of the multi-day long classes I've taken on radon. The link to that one is:
Salvador also has a great map by zip code for the Portland Area:
50% of the houses in Portland statistically levels of radon over 4 by zip code but since zip codes are not geological boundaries it makes areas with higher levels look low. If the Alameda ridge area where its own zip code the maps would show that over 90% of the homes have high levels of radon.
Here is a link to Salvador's Blog as well:
He is on ActiveRain but the blog isn't on here. Drop him a line and get him to re-post them here. :)
