No, I did some research and it appears there are some things you can do to reduce radon gases in your home and that is good ventilation and fans, there are other things you can do also. Please follow the links below for extensive information from the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Possible solutions for radon mitigation: good ventilation of the house, ventilation under the basement, plastic filter under the basement, good finishing of the basement and walls, etc.
Yes, because the diffusion of radon gas is more difficult in a material with low porosity and without cracks or holes.
Inhalation of high concentrations of radon (more than 150 Bq/m3) for long periods can be a cause of lung cancers.
Low places where there is little or no ventilation. Radon is "heavy" and can accumulate from sources in rocks or soil in locations where there is a "low place" like a crawl space or basement that has little to no air movement in the space.
Radon is a very heavy gas, several times heavier than air. When radon seeps into a basement as a result of low-level radioactive decay within rocks such as granite, it tends to be trapped there. This is especially true as homes are sealed tighter with insulation and weather strips. A full time ventilation system that circulates air from around the outside of basement floor and walls will stop radon buildup.

Yes, radon is a gas at room temperature.
Radon is a gas at room temperature.
Radon is formed by the decompostion of Radium and/or Uranium which means that a source of either element is decomposing underneath you. The only real way to eliminate it is to remove it form underground. A good method to reduce radon is to open windows (if there are any) to let the gas escape
Radon is a gas, no hardness.
Radon is a gas, no ductility.
Radon is a noble gas and is radioactive.
Radon testing lets you test for radon gas. Radon gas is harmful to your health and cause things such as cancer.
