What causes radon in caves and how do you know if you are being exposed to dangerous levels?
1. A cave is non ventilated volume and the concentration of radon is greater than outdoor. 2. Determination of radon concentration (in Bq/m3 or in pCi/L). The maximum concentration should be under 150-250 Bq/m3.
Is radon 222 an indoor particle?
Radon is a gas, possible to be in buildings. Radon 222 is an isotope of radon, the most common.
Is radon corrosive?
Radon is a non-corrosive gas.
Can you smell radon?
No. Radon is odorless.
What is the weight of radium?
Although the atomic mass number of radon is often given as 220, there are 39 isotopes and isomers of radon. The common isomers of radon are : radon-219, radon-220, and radon-222.
What are the causes of radiation pollution?
Radon gas, nuclear power plants
What is Radon testing and can I buy one for my home?
Radon is a radioactive gas that causes lung cancer. You cant see, smell, taste radon so it is hard to know if you have it. You can buy Radon Test Kits at Homedepot or any similar store. If you have radon then you can eliminate it yourself for less then five hundred dollars
Which hotel was the first to set up radon detectors?
Radon detectors are detectors that detect radon, a colorless and odorless gas that is second to only smoking in the list of causes for lung cancer. There is no record of the first hotel to employ radon detectors, but they come standard in most hotels due to their low costs.
What are the primary causes of lung cancer?
Tobacco products, smoke inhalation, air pollution, asbestos and radon.

What are the elements in Radon?
There are no elements in Radon, Radon is an element in its own right.
What might cause lung cancer?
Some causes of lung cancer are smoking, or inhaling harmful chemicals such as radon or asbestos.
