Why is radon undesirable inside a house?
Because radon can be accumulated in buildings, in closed, non ventilated areas.
Are there any foods that radon is found in?
No. Radon is a gas, and a very volatile one at that. The only place it can accumulate is in totally sealed basements.
Does Radon Gas stay on materials when moved out of a house that has radon?
no
Which area of the home will typically have the highest concentration of radon gas?
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.
Can you get radon out of your house?
Sharp metal object and or a gun.

What is isotopes accumulate in old uranium bearing rock?
All the isotopes from the decay chains exist in these rocks. The most important are the dangerous isotopes of radium and radon.
What gas is a radioactive daughter of the U-238 decay series that can accumulate to unhealthful levels in poorly ventilated uranium mines and home basements?
Radon. In high concentrations, Radon is one of the most dangerous radioactive substances because it's the only radioactive substance that is a gas. Therefore it is very, very difficult to contain. Most of us have some amount of Radon in our water supplies. This Radon diffused into the water when water came in contact with radioactive rocks while it is stored in underground reservoir. Because it is a gas, the best and most common way to extract Radon from water is to install a Radon removal system. These systems normally work by agitating and aerating the water so the Radon, coaxing the Radon out of the water and join the airflow which vents outside the house. Radon is dangerous because once inhaled it starts to degrade the immune system, making victims more susceptible to disease.
Is radon an acid?
No, Radon is not an acid. It is a slightly radioactive gas which slowly emits from rocks such as granite and others. It can accumulate in basements or poorly ventilated buildings and even be in well water which may escape into a house. Although there is no direct proof that it is dangerous theoretical calculations indicate that it may cause lung cancer. Governments around the world have instituted various anti-radon programs and some have expended large amounts of money to "abate" the problem. Compared to smoking or even second hand smoke the probability of cancer from radon is unmeasurable and there has never been a clear case of cancer from radon ever proven. On the list of stuff to worry about it is likely near the bottom.
