    Extractions: Invisible and odorless, radon is a health hazard when it accumulates to high levels inside homes or other structures. And it is deadly. Indoor radon exposure is estimated to be the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths each year in the United States. Cigarette smoking is responsible for the large majority (87 percent) of lung cancer deaths.

    http://www.lungusa.org/air/radon_factsheet99.html
    
    Extractions: Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is a decay product of uranium and occurs naturally in soil and rock. Radon gas has been identified as a leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoking, and it is responsible for thousands of deaths annually. Radon breaks down into components called radon progeny, sometimes called "radon daughters," which emit high-energy alpha particles. These emissions raise the risk of lung cancer. The main source of high-level radon pollution in buildings is surrounding uranium-containing soil such as granite, shale, phosphate and pitchblende. Radon enters a home through cracks in walls, basement floors, foundations and other openings. It may also contaminate the water supply, especially in private wells. Over a person's lifetime, particulate radon progeny can enter the lungs, attach themselves, and may eventually lead to lung cancer. Radon is believed to cause between 15,000 and 21,000 U.S. deaths from lung cancer annually.

    Extractions: Johann Radon attended school in Leitmeritz (now Litomerice) in Bohemia between 1897 and 1905. He then entered the University of Vienna where he was awarded a doctorate in 1910 for a dissertation on the calculus of variations In 1919 Radon became assistant professor at Hamburg becoming a full professor in Greifswald in 1922. He taught in Erlangen in 1925, then from 1928 until 1945 he worked at the University of Breslau. He was appointed to the University of Vienna in 1947 and he remained there for the rest of his life. Radon applied the calculus of variations to differential geometry which led to applications in number theory . He discovered curves whch are now named after him. His best known results involve combining the integration theories of Lebesgue and Stieltjes Article by: J J O'Connor and E F Robertson Click on this link to see a list of the Glossary entries for this page List of References (6 books/articles) A Poster of Johann Radon Mathematicians born in the same country Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index

    Extractions: If you live in certain parts of the United States, you might be aware of the threat that radon gas poses. Radon gas is radioactive, and in tightly insulated houses it can accumulate to concentrations that pose a health threat. If you inhale the gas into your lungs, its decay can increase your chance of getting lung cancer. A study reported in 1990 by the National Safety Council estimated that about 14,000 deaths a year could be attributed to radon, and that the number could range from 7,000 to 30,000. In this edition of How Stuff Works , we'll talk about what radon is, how you can find it in your home and what the health risks are for it. Next Page HSW Home Table of Contents:

    Extractions: Environmental Protection Bureau February 1996 Revision Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas which is created naturally by the breakdown of uranium and radium. Radon gas is continuously released from rocks and soil containing these two elements. Uranium and radium may be found in almost all soil and rock, but are most often associated with those containing granite, shale, and phosphate. Once formed, radon itself decays into other radioactive elements, known as "radon daughters" or "progeny". The rate at which a radioactive element decays is expressed as its half-life. (A half-life is the time it takes for half of a radioactive element in a sample to decay into another element.) Radon has a half-life of about three days; its daughter particles all have half-lives of less than half an hour. What are the health hazards of exposure to radon?

DHS IAQ Unit, Mold, Asbestos The California Department of Health Service’s (DHS) Radon Program goals are to educate and increase the public awareness of the risks of radon in indoor air. The program promotes radon testing of homes, businesses, and schools. The program also works to identify areas with the potential for elevated levels of radon in indoor air due to geology, etc. The Program is responsible for listing individuals certified to perform radon services in California. What is Radon? Radon is a naturally occurring colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas that comes from the decay of uranium found in nearly all soils. It enters buildings byway of the ground through cracks and openings in the foundations. Once inside the radon can become trapped and unless the building is properly ventilated to remove the gas, it can become a health hazard. Long-term exposure to elevated levels of radon increase ones risk of contracting lung cancer. The levels of radon vary throughout the country and the concentrations entering homes varies from home to home.
