What is the color of radon?
In the gaseous (normal) state, radon is a colorless gas, as is true of all noble gases (see: xenon, krypton, neon, argon, helium). Due to its high radioactivity a radon light is impractical, but if one were constructed it would glow yellow-green. In the solid state, things get very interesting with radon. As radon solidifies, it glows yellow, and then with decreasing temperature, glows an angry orange-red. This glow, or nightshine, comes from the Cerenkov light -- a product if radon's intense radioactivity. Needless to say, if you ever are viewing a glowing radon tube, you had best be standing behind very thick leaded glass.
Can radon poisoning cause heart problems?
It would be hard to attribute any cardiac difficulties to radon. Radon is an inert gas, but it is radioactive. If it does any damage, it is because it is inhaled and undergoes decay in the lungs. The lungs take the damage, and enough radiation damage can cause cancer. The heart is "safe" in that light. Note that radon is an underrated cause of cancer.

What are long term effect of radon?
And that's exactly the problem with radon exposure. It is a radioactive source, and it's airborne and hard to defend against. You can't see it, feel it or smell it. It enters the body through respiration and sometimes ends up staying around - and decaying inside a person. An individual so exposed experiences localized radiation damage to tissues. And radiation is a good cause of cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and the 6th leading cause of cancer in the U.S. overall. Symptoms of radon exposure in the levels to which it is present in structures are not directly observable. That makes it very important to test and to apply an effective mitigating stategy ASAP if a problem is discovered. Don't institute any half measures on this one. It's important. Radiation is like sun burn - except the consequences are more dire. How much can you handle without major problems? The best idea is to expose yourself to none and then not have to worry about it. As stated, you can not see, smell or feel radon gas. You cannot sense it at all. It is a radioactive gas that causes damage to our cells deep within the lungs. Unlike carbon monoxide gas that has defined symptoms from increasing amounts of exposure, which are similar to the flu, radon gas exposure has none. Symptoms only show up with the onset of lung cancer, which is the only known health malady that radon gas causes. So instead of looking for symptoms to occur it is best to test your home.
