Default Laminate flooring and radon

Im still having Radon problems here. There are a few areas between the
flooring and the trim where there are gaps like this -

Even though that gap looks big........just on the outside of that picture
on both ends, the flooring and trim meet perfectly tight. Any ideas on
what to use to seal that gap tightly ? Theres a couple sections that
look like that.

Im guess I have to chaulk everywhere where the trim meets the
sheetrock...but not sure what to do for the above image where the trim
meets the flooring?

I have the same radon levels that I had before the flooring was installed.
(7.0 ) This is a bummer.

They used radon plastic and padding as well with the 1/2 inch thick
laminate flooring. This gas is impossible to get arid of. The readings
in the crawl space were low too.



Did you put anything over the walls to keep Radon out?
