This story has been around for a couple months, I believe. Although, it has been gaining more popularity as time goes. Panic sets in at Fairfax County Police Station, as an apparent leak of unknown origin is thought to be somewhere underneath the 25-year old Franconia Police Station, causing cancer over time.

Last July, the department tested the air and water. The obtained results called for "no corrective action," however, many known carcinogens were not tested for.

Within the past five years, at least 13 people who work there have battled cancer. All under age 50, three have already died.

Catherine McGowan buried her mother last June. Officer Sally McGowan worked at the station for 15 years. She was 45.

Is Radon gas still a thing? I remember having to put vents in our basement back in the 80's because someone said it was dangerous. I vaguely remember that it has since been debunked.

Spirit of cancer. Demonic.

Would you believe the EPA?
If so, then yes, radon gas is quite a danger.

When we bought our last house 4 years ago the still tested for it even though the house we were buying already had a mitigation system. When our neighbors bought their house a year ago they had to put in a radon fan, so yeah it is still a thing.
