Is it true that Crawl space encapsulation reduces indoor radon levels in houses?
Unclear. No retrieved item directly tests crawl space encapsulation as a radon-reduction measure. Two studies offer only indirect, partial counter-indications: crawl-space houses in Kentucky showed higher radon than slab houses, and Norwegian well-ventilated crawl spaces exempt from preventive measures still sometimes exceeded action levels.
