Edit: I should have added an explanation. It is only an issue when the ventilation is very low. Accumulation of Radon gas is the only thing to be worried about.
what about this I woke up at 3 this morning and it's my day off and don't want to think enough to parse it. my brain is fucking tired. radiation is not my field.
I just got the conclusion:
This concentration is approximately one‐eighth the average radon gas concentration in U.S. homes (37 Bq m -3) and is
well below the EPA guideline of 4 pCi L-1 (150 Bq m -3).
This calculation is very conservative in that it assumes that there is no mixing of air between the kitchen and other rooms
in the home. If air in the kitchen of the house flows easily into other rooms, then the radon‐222 concentration would likely
be lower than the above calculation indicates.
The kitchen area is assumed to be relatively large, as is the countertop area. In addition, the true emanation fraction
for a solid granite slab is likely to be lower than the value of 0.1 used in the equation.
which seems to say it's generally a nonissue, just get a radon detector if you're worried.
If you look at the floor, you can see that the house was built around the rock. My bet is that they found the rock while digging out the basement. Options were $15,000+ to remove it, or $0 to just dig around it.
It's an AI image. There's a lot of impossible patterns and geometry here. Look at the floor under the rock and the pattern on the bedsheets lol. Also the ceiling is curving and the rock would be clipping into the wall from this perspective.
Nevermind the bolder, what is going on with random boxes on the ceiling? Did the architect forget to include the ductwork in their design or something?
