Thanks for the map Fritz.  That is very interesting.

I was recently told by my BCO (a very helpful team member) that Radon has the same effects as passive smoking.
Anyone know more??

Go round the back of Havre des pas where the gay set hang out ::)
Wear a pair of speedo's, get onto all fours, sniff the granite and wait for the radon hit.

The exact effects of passive smoking are not known for definite.  You won't find a scrap of hard scientific evidence to show there is a connection between passive smoking and cancer.

But, it is obvious that there must be one, just because statistics strongly suggest there is a link.  It would be foolish to think that second-hand smoke is harmless.

Same applies to Radon gas.

I can't see how it would be right to say "Radon has the same effects as passive smoking.", given that the exact effects, of either, on any given individual can't be known in advance.  Some people are more resilient to cancer than others.  Plus, there's a load of other factors, e.g. genetics, and general healthiness.

Both are very complex, and cant be summed up in a sentence or two.

Don't you therefore think that the entire surface of the Island should be painted in aqueous bitumen (as insisted on by Building control) to avoid any pollution of Radon Gas into out stratosphere, via ourselves, greedily breathing it in and out all the time??

Good point GB. The methods prescribed by Building control actually increase the volume of radon gas emitted around the perimeter of any building.
So, in theory, if you stay indoors you will be OK, but if you venture out you are likely to be exposed to more dangerous levels.
