Radon gas mitigation in our home.

I've had the Air Things detector for a month now. Both short and long term levels are under 100 Bq/m³.
It rises a little if I shut off the air exchanger but we generally let it run all the time.
Health Canada says anything under 200 Bq/m³ doesn't need to be mitigated unless you really want to or can do it easily.
I guess something else will have to kill me.......
And I finally learned how to type an exponent..:D³
(it's always the little things)
Good news, rest peacefully.

Now how do you do the exponent thing?
 
Below are our radon levels for the last year. If I recall correctly before I installed a fan our levels were over 300 based on a certified 3 month test.

Two things I don’t like about the AirThings Wave is that:
- It detects when I’ve used VOC’s in the workshop…
- There isn’t a mode to hide certain data from my wife…
I have to remember to run the HRV continuously before I start playing with VOC’s…

(The red you can just see below for CO2 is when the smoke was bad in Winnipeg last year)
