Radon gas seeps out of rocks underground why is it important to stop radon collecting in houses?

Radon gas is a radioactive gas.In high risk areas,houses may need extra underfoor ventilation to stop the gas collecting or,ideally,a sealed floor to stop it entering in the first place. Radon is a decay product of uranium, which is relatively common in the Earth's crust, but generally concentrated in ore-bearing rocks scattered around the world. Radon seeps out of these ores into the atmosphere or into ground water, and in these localities it can accumulate within dwellings and expose humans to high concentrations.Radiation exposure from radon is indirect. Radon has a short half-life (4 days) and decays into other solid particulate. These radioactive particles are inhaled and remain lodged in the lungs, causing continued exposure. People in affected localities can receive up to 10 mSv per year background radiation.


What are some geographical barriers that would limit human settlement?

Mountains, deserts, and oceans are all major barriers to human settlement, but even these don't stop people completely.


What does it mean if you have radon in basement?

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.
