No. Nothing about radon has anything to do with Mercury. Mercury is certainly not an element in the decay chain of radon on its way to becoming a stable isotope of lead. And radon is an inert gas. It can, under the most extreme conditions, be compounded with fluorine, but mercury? Forget it. It ain't happenin'. Note that radon is a radioactive hazard, and we need to be up to speed on what it is, how it works, the probability or our being at risk of exposure and what to do to mitigate radon buildup.
What else can I help you with?
Will radon cause tiredness?
Exposure to radon gas can lead to symptoms such as fatigue and lethargy, as it can interfere with the body's ability to transport oxygen effectively. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon has been linked to increased risk of lung cancer. If you suspect radon exposure, it is important to test your home and take measures to reduce radon levels.
How do you flush out radon from your body?
Radon is a gas that is naturally found in the environment, and it cannot be flushed out of your body like a toxin. If you are concerned about radon exposure, it is important to test your home for radon levels and take steps to mitigate any high levels of radon. Inhaling high levels of radon gas over a long period of time can increase the risk of lung cancer.
What can Radon do to the Human body?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter buildings and accumulate to high levels. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer, particularly in smokers. Radon decays into radioactive particles that can damage lung tissue when inhaled. Testing for radon levels in homes and workplaces is important to reduce exposure.
Can radon gas cause nausea?
No, radon exposure does not give you an upset stomach. Radon is dangerous because it can be inhaled and can undergo radioactive decay in your lungs. Further, the radioactive daughters of radon are all radioactive, and have an excellent chance of remaining in your lungs. These daughter products will decay and cause more radiation damage. Radon exposure is the second leading cause (and an underrated one) of lung cancer. Radiation sickness is unlikely, but cancer can (will) appear in those with higher exposures to radon. You cannot tell if you are being exposed to radon by anything but a radon test of the structure you live (or work) in.
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.

Why do you need Mercury in your body?
Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that can harm the nervous system, kidneys, and brain. Even low levels of mercury exposure over time can be harmful. It is important to limit exposure and try to reduce mercury levels in the body to avoid health issues.
What can make your mercury levels high in your body?
eating murcury
Does insulin cause low potassium levels in the body?
Yes, insulin can cause low potassium levels in the body by promoting the movement of potassium from the bloodstream into cells.
How does Mercury effect the human body?
Mercury can cause memory loss, loss of coordination, vision problems
Can you die from radon gas?
Yes, you can. It's a very radioactive gas. Over 40,000 people in US and Europe die yearly from lung cancer caused by radon gas. But it's not like in those horror movies where your body melts away. It does not kill you instantly. You can't see, smell or taste radon gas. And because of that, many people live in houses full of radon without being aware of it. You should do a radon test (link under "Sources and related links" below this answer) to find out if there's radon in your house. Amazon also sells radon test kits, and you should also check in your local area.yes
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.
What danger does radon gas pose?
Radon gas is radioactive, and as a gas, it is much more dangerous than a liquid or solid because it is airborne and can be inspired. If you breathe in radon and it undergoes radioactive decay inside your lungs, there will be some heavy biological damage. Additionally, the decay products in the decay chain from radon are all radioactive solids, and they have a low probability of being exhaled. You will effectively be stuck with a tiny radioactive source inside you. Radon decays through several steps to get to a stable isotope of lead, and all the decay events are high energy events as far as soft tissue, point blank biological damage. They're alpha and beta decay events. Radon is suspected as a leading cause of lung cancer. Radiation does that to tissue.
