With the mention of "radioactive dust" are you sure it's radon, as that should not produce dust, and not some other source of radiation in the attic? Like I don't kow what, a lot of old gas mantle filaments.

Any notion of whether it's β or ɣ radiation you're detecting?

Demolition is going to need careful monitoring to ensure you don't contaminate the entire site.



I have 3 geiger counters that do Gamma, Beta and X-Ray. They do not register anything beyond the background noise. My Alpha detector is the only one that picks up the spikes from the hepa filters and my attic.
