Potentially buying house (~ 30 year old ) which has a radon mitigation system put in 2006, the level currently is at 1.6 pci/L. I know EPA recommends below 4, but is this still elevated?

Lol you’re fine man/woman... 2/3 of the radiation exposure you get a year is from the ground and that is minimal anyway. Statistically insignificant when you look at the potential additional # of cases of developing lung cancer per 10000 is between 1,2,3 and above 4 pci/l

Thank you for your replies, hopefully I will find same levels once I move in. Have a good weekend.

My expectation after the system is being put for mitigation to bring the level come down to <0.5 ~ very similar to what is outside the house in yard/playground. Appreciate thoughts from anyone who has dealt with the radon issue and mitigation system.

If I remember right, below 1.75 is fine. Just don’t take deep breaths. It was always of minimal concern for me (house built in the late 50s) because I spent minimal time in the basement. As long as the meter isn’t zeroed out and staying below 1.75, you are fine.

I looked up studies on radon when we bought our house and found that there is little evidence supporting the EPA rating. Canada’s recommendation is something like 10x higher. Look at the research and decide for yourself what you’re comfortable with!

Hypothetically, if BBB was delayed and brought to the Senate floor next year (let's say February 2022) and passed, and the January 1st date for ending Roth conversions is left unchanged, what would happen to Americans who performed After-Tax 401k to Roth conversions in January? Would 401k custodians have to reverse the transactions and somehow factor in gains earned in users' Roth accounts since the conversion? Could there be penalties?
