Test for radon first:
About one in every 15 homes is thought to have high levels of radon. The highest concentration of radon tends to be found in the basement or on the first floor.

I was aware of radon being a thing, especially since I live in an area with a lot of granite in the soil, but since I currently have a vented crawlspace, I wasn’t worried too much. Thank you for reminding me that I need to think about it again if/when I close off the vents and encapsulate!
