    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon_mitigation

    A typical radon test kit Fluctuation of ambient air radon concentration over one week, measured in a laboratory. The first step in mitigation is testing. No level of radiation is considered completely safe, but as it cannot be eliminated, governments around the world have set various action levels to provide guidance on when radon concentrations should be reduced.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_radon

    Radon is responsible for the majority of public exposure to ionizing radiation. It is often the single largest contributor to an individual's background radiation dose, and is the most variable from location to location. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings, especially in confined areas such as attics and basements.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon

    Radon is also oxidised by dioxygen difluoride to RnF 2 at 173 K (−100 °C; −148 °F). [25] Radon oxides are among the few other reported compounds of radon; [29] only the trioxide (RnO 3) has been confirmed. [30] The higher fluorides RnF 4 and RnF 6 have been claimed [30] and are calculated to be stable, [31] but their identification is ...

    Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) consist of materials, usually industrial wastes or by-products enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment, such as uranium, thorium and potassium and any of their decay products, such as radium and radon.

    Radium-228 is more likely to cause cancer of the bone as the shorter half-life of radon-220 compared to radon-222 causes the daughter nuclides of radium-228 to deliver a greater dose of alpha radiation to the bones. It also considers the induction of several forms of cancer caused by internal exposure to radium and its daughter nuclides.

  9. Radon-222 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon-222

    Radon-222 (222 Rn, Rn-222, historically radium emanation or radon) is the most stable isotope of radon, with a half-life of approximately 3.8 days. It is transient in the decay chain of primordial uranium-238 and is the immediate decay product of radium-226 .
