Radon gas map shows which postcode areas are in greatest danger - The Times 24th November 2007

An interactive online map that tells residents and business people if their premises are at risk of exposure to the radiaoctive gas radon has been set up as part of the Government’s attempts to tackle environmental causes of disease. The atlas of England and Wales will provide a postcode-by-postcode assessment of which buildings need to be tested for radon, which causes up to 2,000 deaths from lung cancer each year. For a fee of £3.53, it will tell users instantly whether their home or office lies in a radon-affected zone — defined as an area in which at least one in a hundred buildings exceeds recommended limits for the gas.
