What method is recommended to mitigate radon gas in buildings?

  1. Using air fresheners to mask the smell

  2. Sealing foundations and using subsurface ventilation

  3. Installing additional electrical outlets

  4. Increasing the number of windows for natural light

The correct answer is: Sealing foundations and using subsurface ventilation

Sealing foundations and using subsurface ventilation is the recommended method because it reduces the amount of radon gas that can enter a building from the ground. Using air fresheners may mask the smell of radon, but it does not address the underlying issue. Installing additional electrical outlets or increasing the number of windows for natural light will not have any impact on reducing radon gas levels in a building.
