You can't buy it.
The most stable isotope of radon has a half-life of about 4 days (contrast this with the first element most people think of when they hear the word "radioactive," uranium, where the kind used in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs has a half-life of seven hundred million years, and the most common isotope has a half-life of about five billion years).
Most people who need radon ... and there are very few ... generate it in situ from a solution containing radium that costs about $6,000 per milliliter, with each milliliter containing about 15 picograms of radon at any given time. A gram of radium produces about 1 mm3 of radon gas per day, so to get a gram of radon per day, you'd need about 101 kg of radium. Radium is not commercially available in those quantities, so the ultimate answer is that it's literally priceless; you cannot buy a gram of radon at any price.

That'd be radon
Why is the level of radon gas in houses different in different parts of the country?
Answer 1This is very clear in houses made from bricks or stones and not from wood. These bricks or stones contain some percentage of uranium that decays to produce radon gas that escapes to the surrounding air thus increasing the radon gas level especially when the house is not ventilated. Answer 2There's an effect due to the type of construction (houses that are mostly brick or stone may have more radon that houses that are mostly wood), but this isn't really a "different parts of the country" effect except to the extent that some kinds of houses are more common in some parts of the country. One very definite effect having to do with location is the underlying bedrock. Two houses of identical construction may have very different radon levels if the underlying bedrock in the area is granite vs. limestone.
How much will it be to fill up a Jeep Cherokee with gas?
Depending on how much gas prices are in your area, and how low you let your fuel get to, it could be anywhere from $60-$70 to fill up the tank. The Cherokee has around a 20-gallon fuel tank and gas around my area is 3.32. I have about 2 gallons in my Cherokee right now (yes, I let it run that low) so to fill it up, it would cost me $60.
What does radon cause?
Radon gas can cause lung cancer after smoking. Non-smokers can get them as well. Gas rises up underneath the homes if there is low pressure in the house, and it can act like a vacume. Radon gas is the heaviest gas of all, so it should be sitting on the flours. High levels of radon is like smoking 135 cigarette packs a day. There are radon detection kits and radon extraction services. The extraction services may cost as much as a small home repair.
