My interest in Colin Furze and his many activities, most especially his underground stuff, has lead me to the above video. So, I now know a very little about Radon. Which is more than I knew about it before. To learn more, you can read about it here.
Apparently (according to some sources) it’s the number one cause of death by lung cancer in non-smokers.
Thanks to this video I’ve also learned that there’s an online UK Radon map, where you can type in your postcode, and learn about Radon levels in your area.
It turns out that Colin Furze lives in a high radon concentration area. We, on the other hand (blue markers on maps), live in a very low concentration area. Phew!
And so it is that I learn of a new cause for concern. But also, mercifully, that it really need not concern us unduly. As we’re in a low risk area.
