[quote:Anonymous Coward 35613590:MV8yMTQwNTU1XzM2NDc1OTYwXzM4Qzk5REZF] it happen often here in Italy when houses are built on volcanic rocks as they contains uranium and it product radon... I measure 0.17 to 0.20 here and is pretty normal for this zone. why don't you measure an house before to go to live in it instead after? :peace: If you prefer ridiculous answers I active the ridiculous mode: [ridiculous mode on] Have you tried to measure your belly? :tounge: Maybe you are kidnapped by aliens... everyone knows when aliens enter often in a zone or in a house/room they make it radioactive... :cool2: [/quote]

The outdoor background and random indoor commercial building average here is around 6 uSv/h, while indoors at my house it is around 20 uSv/h (can't get the stupid U looking symbol to show up on here).
It's always been like that, higher inside my home than it is outside or in other buildings.
I thought it was due to the brick because people say that brick can read higher.
But, the Geiger counter still reads low in other brick buildings around here that I've done a measurement in, and it even reads low right next to the brick on the outside of my home.
Am I fucking radioactive? O_o
