Radon concentration is usually measured in the atmosphere in becquerel per cubic meter (Bq/m3) (the SI derived unit). Typical domestic exposures are about 100 Bq/m3 indoors, and 10-20 Bq/m3 outdoors.

Concentration of radon in the earth crust: 4.10-19 kg Rn/kg of rocks

Concentration of radon in the sea water 6.10-22 kg Rn/L of sea water

From these data you can calculate the approx. quantity of radon on the earth (knowing the mass of the earth crust and the volume of the sea waters).
