XRinger,
I can assure you that it will. That is how I first got interested in this subject. We had a client in Bowling Green, Kentucky where they started smelling gasoline vapors in the basement. The ultimate source was a leaking underground storage tank. The proximate cause was two powered attic fans that were litterally pullling huge volumes of soil gas into the building. Subsequent air sampling showed high radon levels as well as gasoline constituents.
Of course, if the ceiling/attic interface is air tight, this could not happen. However, it still doesnt justify the expense of a powered attic fan.
