Does this look like blue concrete to you?

I recently purchased a home built in the 1960s and am concerned about radon. Does this look like it could be so-called blå betong?

 

[topmount]

No

 

[majling]

No

Any idea what kind of material it could be? Does it look like lightweight concrete?

 

[GoC]

Ordinary concrete from the 60s
Where have you found it?
And above all, stop reading and worrying about all sorts of things that might come up.
Blue ytong is porous and there are no visible stones in the material and it's so light that it floats

There are many other things that are more dangerous for a baby than what the house is made of.
Moreover, babies are very resilient creatures; as long as they get food, sleep, and care, they grow and thrive, blissfully unaware of their parents' worries

To reassure you even more, one could say that smoking is about 10 times more dangerous than elevated radon levels in your home, assuming you are already a smoker. If you're a non-smoker, you can probably live in a home with elevated radon levels without noticing it at all.
