Radon can cause lung cancer but it is also used in radiation treatments for some times of cancer (ironic, I know); and some people go to Radon spas located in Russia and Central Europe because they believe that it can cure some ailments such as rheumatiod Arthritis, multiple sclerosis, depression, and cataracts. Also there is some evidence (though this is not a proven theory) that in areas where an earthquake is about to occur the Radon level increases. Radon is a Noble Gas (therefore a gas a room temperature) and is very unreactive to other elements, therefore it does not want to burn and the only confirmed compound of it is Radon Fluoride (RnF). Radon is also highly radioactive and has no color, no smell, and no taste.
