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.
