Oregon Health Authority : Radon Gas and Public Health : Radon Gas . . . Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas Radon is found everywhere in the world The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water produces radon Exposure to high radon levels over a long period of time can increase your risk of lung cancer
Radon - Wikipedia Radon is a chemical element; it has symbol Rn and atomic number 86 It is a radioactive noble gas and is colorless and odorless Of the three naturally occurring radon isotopes, only 222 Rn has a sufficiently long half-life (3 825 days) for it to be released from the soil and rock where it is generated
Radon Gas: Causes, Exposure, Symptoms Complications Radon is a naturally occurring gas, but too much exposure over time can lead to serious health conditions Luckily, there are ways to test for and reduce high radon levels
Radon and Your Health | Radon | CDC Radon is an odorless and invisible radioactive gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water Radon can get trapped inside homes and buildings, and build up in the air Over time, breathing in high levels of radon can cause lung cancer All outdoor and indoor air has some radon in it
Radon - Johns Hopkins Medicine What is radon? Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas It comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium and radium in soil, rock, and water and is released into the air we breathe Radon is found all over the U S —in buildings, homes, offices, and schools—and can reach drastically high levels, causing a major health concern
Radionuclide Basics: Radon - US EPA Radon (chemical symbol Rn) is an odorless, colorless, radioactive gas It comes from the natural decay of uranium and radium found in nearly all rocks and soils Radon can move up from the ground into buildings through openings in floors or walls that are in contact with the ground
Clinician Brief: Radon | Environmental Health and Medicine Education . . . Radon is a chemically and biologically inert noble gas produced when naturally occurring uranium and thorium undergo radioactive decay Radon undergoes further radioactive decay into daughters (progeny) until reaching a stable form of lead
