Radon is a cause of lung cancers, no problems with the intestines.

No, exposure to radon gas does not directly cause small intestine blockage. Radon gas exposure is a known risk factor for developing lung cancer, but it does not have a direct impact on the gastrointestinal system or the small intestine. Small intestine blockage can be caused by various factors, such as tumors, adhesions, or hernias.

Can radon gas cause migraine headaches?
No, exposure to radon gas, even a large amount, won't give you a headache. Radon is an inert or noble gas, and it is radioactive. Radon exposure is a bad thing as it is the second most common cause of lung cancer. But you won't be able to detect radon by any of your senses, and it will not directly cause you to be "sick" or for a "migrane" to appear. It will, after time, cause cancer because the radiation damage your lungs get from the long exposure. In the mean time, you won't feel a thing. At least not because of an exposure to radon gas.
What is radon exposure?
The state of being exposed to radon gas
Can radon gas cause nausea?
No, radon exposure does not give you an upset stomach. Radon is dangerous because it can be inhaled and can undergo radioactive decay in your lungs. Further, the radioactive daughters of radon are all radioactive, and have an excellent chance of remaining in your lungs. These daughter products will decay and cause more radiation damage. Radon exposure is the second leading cause (and an underrated one) of lung cancer. Radiation sickness is unlikely, but cancer can (will) appear in those with higher exposures to radon. You cannot tell if you are being exposed to radon by anything but a radon test of the structure you live (or work) in.
One way radon and asbestos are similar is that they?
Both radon and asbestos are able to cause cancer if a person has sufficient exposure. And they are both made of matter. Beyond that, these two materials have no similarity at all.
How many confirmed deaths are there from radon gas exposure?
An estimate is approx. 20 000; it is practicalyy impossible to know exactly the cause of all lung cancers.

Can radon cause chronic bronchitis?
Radon is a cause of lung cancers, not for bronchitis.

What symptoms do people experience if affected by too much radon?
The Word is: There are no symptoms. The excess exposure ultimately manifests as lung cancer, with no symptoms along the way.
Does radon from gold mining cause eye cancer?
Radon is an important cause of lung cancers.
Will radon gas cause high mercury levels in the body?
No. Nothing about radon has anything to do with mercury. Mercury is certainly not an element in the decay chain of radon on its way to becoming a stable isotope of lead. And radon is an inert gas. It can, under the most extreme conditions, be compounded with fluorine, but mercury? Forget it. It ain't happenin'. Note that radon is a radioactive hazard, and we need to be up to speed on what it is, how it works, the probability or our being at risk of exposure and what to do to mitigate radon buildup.
Does radon help fight against cancer?
No, not radon. Radon is known to cause lung cancer.
