What cancers are associated with radon?
Radon exposure is primarily associated with lung cancer. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and is particularly dangerous for those who smoke or have a history of smoking. Long-term exposure to radon can lead to the development of lung tumors, as inhaled radon decays into radioactive particles that can damage lung tissue. While radon is not directly linked to other types of cancer, the primary concern remains its strong association with lung cancer.
How does radon from cigarettes effect the body?
Radon is a radioactive gas found in soil and water that can seep into buildings, and cigarette smoke can contain radon. When inhaled, radon can damage lung tissue and increase the risk of lung cancer. Coupled with the other toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke, the presence of radon further elevates the health hazards associated with smoking.
Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among people who do not smoke?
Yes, radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil and rocks and can enter buildings, where it can accumulate to dangerous levels. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of developing lung cancer, especially for those who do not smoke. Testing for radon levels in homes is recommended to protect against this health risk.
Is Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among people who do not smoke.?
Yes, radon is a very important cause of lung cancers for the non-smoking peoples.
Things containing arsenic?
Arsenic is a heavy metal and is toxic. This is why it is used in rat poison. If you work in an environment with arsenic it is a good idea to eat a diet rich in sulfur found in eggs, legumes, garlic, and onions.

Is radon an acid?
No, Radon is not an acid. It is a slightly radioactive gas which slowly emits from rocks such as granite and others. It can accumulate in basements or poorly ventilated buildings and even be in well water which may escape into a house. Although there is no direct proof that it is dangerous theoretical calculations indicate that it may cause lung cancer. Governments around the world have instituted various anti-radon programs and some have expended large amounts of money to "abate" the problem. Compared to smoking or even second hand smoke the probability of cancer from radon is unmeasurable and there has never been a clear case of cancer from radon ever proven. On the list of stuff to worry about it is likely near the bottom.
Is smoke from a broken tv dangerous to inhale for just a second?
yes, but it won't kill you if you aren't exposed long

By the time smoke gets to another person, they may just inhale it and cough, unknowing that they've just inhaled a lot of secondhand smoke. They also have no filter to protect them.
