What else can I help you with?
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.
Can you smell radon?
No. Radon is odorless.
What is the chemical symbol for radon?
The chemical symbol of radon is Rn.

Radon exposure is a bad thing as it is the second most common cause of lung cancer. But you won't be able to detect radon by any of your senses, and it will not directly cause you to be "sick" or for a "migrane" to appear. It will, after time, cause cancer because the radiation damage your lungs get from the long exposure. In the mean time, you won't feel a thing. At least not because of an exposure to radon gas.

What are the primary causes of lung cancer?
Tobacco products, smoke inhalation, air pollution, asbestos and radon.

What about all the radon waste that can not be removed It is a fact that the waste from the uranium is deadly and causes cancer.?
