These obnoxious fumes can have negative effects upon health and wellness in the surrounding areas. Radon can even have carcinogenic (that is, cancer-causing) effects on your friends and family.



So, in order to prevent these fumes and gases from causing problems for your family and friends (and from causing lawsuits), you would do very well to invest in soil vapour monitoring.
