If your neighbor's house has high radon levels, it doesn't automatically mean your home will too. Radon levels can significantly vary due to numerous factors, including the concentration of uranium, radium, thorium, and other radioactive materials in the soil, as well as their decay rates near the building. Additionally, a home's ventilation plays a crucial role; buildings with better airflow may reduce radon levels, while those with tight insulation can trap radon inside. The most reliable way to determine your home's radon levels is through testing.
