2. Health effects of radon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_radon

   The health effects of radon are harmful, and include an increased chance of lung cancer. Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, which has been studied by a number of scientific and medical bodies for its effects on health. A naturally-occurring gas formed as a decay product of radium, radon is one of the densest ...

3. Radon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon

   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 radon-222 has a sufficiently long half-life (3.825 days) for it to be released from the soil and rock where it is generated.

4. Radon mitigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon_mitigation

   Radon mitigation is any process used to reduce radon gas concentrations in the breathing zones of occupied buildings, or radon from water supplies. Radon is a significant contributor to environmental radioactivity and indoor air pollution. Exposure to radon can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer.

   This system, known as a soil suction radon reduction system, involves minor changes to your home. Carbon monoxide detectors – Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors located in key areas inside the home is a preventative measure against CO poisoning. The gas is created during incomplete combustion in central heating boilers, as well as in open fires.

   Traditionally, a phase 3 trial depends on enrolling a large group of people, giving half the vaccine and half a placebo shot, and comparing rates of infections between the two groups.

7. Naturally occurring radioactive material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_occurring...

   Radon gas in the natural gas streams concentrate as NORM in gas processing activities. Radon decays to lead-210, then to bismuth-210, polonium-210 and stabilizes with lead-206. Radon decay elements occur as a shiny film on the inner surface of inlet lines, treating units, pumps and valves associated with propylene, ethane and propane processing ...

9. Radium and radon in the environment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_and_radon_in_the...

   Radium, like radon, is radioactive and is found in small quantities in nature and is hazardous to life if radiation exceeds 20-50 mSv /year. Radium is a decay product of uranium and thorium. [2] Radium may also be released into the environment by human activity: for example, in improperly discarded products painted with radioluminescent paint.
