Sounds like it should be a horror film. I'm sorry, it may be beautiful, but it's deadly. I think you know the answer to your own question, their chances are not good. Here in the US you could buy a test to check for radon, might want to check it out online and buy one. Test somewhere in the area where you live, the soil, water, it would tell you what you can test. I bet it's loaded. If it were me, I'd be out of there faster than Superman. There are areas like that all over the world and I've even read something about an area here, but I can't remember where. I'll have to try to find out about it again. But it also affected the children and the pregnant woman had children born with birth defects. It's scary but it's also real. Take care, JC
