I recently sat through a presentation regarding radon, its effects on human health, and the building code. One fact that really sticks out to me:
In Canada, annual deaths in structure fires is +/- 110 people. Annual deaths from radon is +/- 3500 people. So it shows the scale of the problem and how we as inspectors can make a difference.
In BC we require a passive depressurization system that is roughed in from under slab to out through the roof, and in theory should be ready for a fan to be installed.
What is happening in other provinces?
