Radon

Radon isotopes (222Rn, 220Rn) are noble, naturally occurring radioactive gases. They originate from the alpha decay of radium isotopes (226Ra, 224Ra), which occur in most materials in the environment, i.e. soil, rocks, raw and building materials. Radon is also found in ground and tap water. The two...
