如何在爬行空间中减少氡?

How do you do Radon mitigation when with insulating and ventilating a crawlspace?

I'm in Springfield, MO. This single story house was built in 1906, still has the stone foundation and below ground is about 25% basement and 75% crawl space. It was flipped last year before I bought it. A radon test in the basement = 4.4. I covered the sump hole with lexan (nice fit but not air tight) and put in a 6" PVC exhaust pipe with an inline exhaust fan to the outside. I'm waiting for the results of a second radon test.

我在地基的缝隙中使用了罐装喷雾泡沫和钢棉。我开始在粉底内侧使用Reflectix(重量轻,便于运输和处理)。我买了,但还没有安装蒸汽屏障。爬行的地方有很多杂物,房子的挡板从来没有清理过。我买了一个连接在湿润器上的爬行空间通风口电风扇,但当天气变冷时就把它关掉并盖上通风口。

I don't know if I should continue with trying to encapsulate the crawl space (will it help reduce radon?) and get a good dehumidifier or just ventilate. What's the best/right path? I'm a 66 yr old female DIY'er with no experience in these matters.
