Dellaire said the radioactive gas tends to accumulate in the lower levels of homes and can reach dangerous levels in some cases, which can be a risk for families that spend time in their basements. A lot of people have their exercise equipment, particularly during COVID-19 lockdown, where you might be in the basement exercising and breathing in large volumes of air, he said.  Developing a new testing method The study has received funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation. Dellaire said a third of the funding will be used to develop a new method of radon testing. That work is being undertaken by the study s co-lead, Aaron Goodarzi, an assistant professor in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Calgary.
