The rock in that area is mostly granite, which releases Radon, a radioactive gas.

No- you can test for Radon at any time. Radon levels CAN be higher in winter months due to houses being closed up.
Radon (6 energy levels)
Radon has six electron shells.
Radon is measured in liter's
It depends of various factors, like how many people live in the house and the amount of time they spend in it (especially in the basement). The EPA recommends fixing the problem if there are radon levels of 4pCi/L or more. Therefore, it is recommended you seek out a professional to reduce the radon levels in your home.
Background radiation is highest in Cornwall and Devon, where there is a high source of Radon that seeps up from the ground as a gas,

Yes, the concentration of radon depends also on room temperature.
Radon mitigation is any process used to reduce radon concentrations in the breathing zones of occupied buildings. So in other words, anything you do to reduce the Radon levels in an occupied building is considered Radon Mitigation

Yes, because the diffusion of radon gas is more difficult in a material with low porosity and without cracks or holes.
