Is it true that radon mitigation systems reduce indoor radon concentrations by up to 99 percent?
Partly. A systematic review and an energy study describe sub-slab depressurization as an effective radon mitigation method, but neither reports a percentage reduction. One reference work reports depressurization systems reducing indoor radon by 45-90 percent, which falls short of the claimed up-to-99 percent figure.
