These elements doesn't have effects on daily life.
Polonium is an element with minor importance today.
Polonium and especially radon contribute to the natural environmental radioactivity.
Polonium and radium have some practical useful applications.
Polonium doesn't affect the world.
The isotope radon-198 will alpha decay to polonium-194 as shown here: 86198Rn => 24He + 84194Po The radon is shown on the left, and the alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus, is shown of the right with the polonium.
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
Radon is one of the noble (inert gases), is radioactive (half-life of about 4 days, decaying to polonium), and is naturally occurring in relatively small quantities. Whether or not it is the heaviest of this group, I am not sure...perhaps someone else can verify.
Polonium-218 has 84 protons, 84 electrons and 134 neutrons.Radon-222 has 86 protons, 86 electrons and 136 neutrons.
Polonium and especially radon contribute to the natural environmental radioactivity.
