Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has had many commercial uses during the last century, so it can be found in many building materials and other objects. Excessive exposure through inhalation can result in asbestosis, lung cancer, or mesothelioma (another kind of cancer). Asbestos seems to produce cancer through the physical interaction of its fibrous structure with living cells. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas with no significant commercial application. Excessive exposure through inhalation can result in lung cancer. Radon produces cancer because it emits ionizing radiation which in turn produces cancer upon sufficient exposure.
The only similarity between asbestos and radon is that both can produce lung cancer. However, as even the mechanism by which that cancer is produced is very different, there is no useful similarity between these two materials.
Indoor air pollution :)
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.

Radon is a gas, possible to be in buildings. Radon 222 is an isotope of radon, the most common.
Radon is a non-corrosive gas.

Tobacco products, smoke inhalation, air pollution, asbestos and radon.
Asbestos pipe is made of cement that contains asbestos fibers. Iron pipe is made from cast iron.
Some causes of lung cancer are smoking, or inhaling harmful chemicals such as radon or asbestos.
Helium has 2 electrons and Radon has 86 electrons but both have 8 valence electrons (8 electrons in their outermost shells)

Green Earth is a company who offers waterproofing, mold remediation, and radon testing and mitigation. They also provide lead and asbestos removal and dehumidification and recycling.
Both are environmental risk factors associated with the development of lung cancer.
The majority of people who get Lung Cancer according to some studies, is smoking. There are other ways to get Lung Cancer like second hand smoke, radon gas and Asbestos.
