   Extractions: Atomic Number: Atomic Radius: Atomic Symbol: Rn Melting Point: -71 ºC Atomic Weight: Boiling Point: -61.7 ºC Electron Configuration: [Xe]6s Oxidation States: (From radium ; called niton at first, L. nitens : shining) The element was discovered in 1900 by Dorn, who called it radium emanation . In 1908 Ramsay and Gray, who named it niton, isolated the element and determined its density, finding it to be the heaviest known gas. It is essentially inert and occupies the last place in the zero group of gases in the Periodic Table. Since 1923, it has been called radon. Twenty isotopes are known. Radon-22, from radium, has a half-life of 3.823 days and is an alpha emitter; Radon-220, emanating naturally from thorium and called thoron, has a half-life of 55.6 s and is also an alpha emitter. Radon-219 emanates from actinium and is called actinon. It has a half-life of 3.96 s and is also an alpha emitter. It is estimated that every square mile of soil to a depth of 6 inches contains about 1 g of radium, which releases radon in tiny amounts into the atmosphere. Radon is present in some spring waters, such as those at Hot Springs, Arkansas. On the average, one part of radon is present at 1 x 10

   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?

   Extractions: Radon was first discovered as the gas produced from radium as it decayed in sealed ampoules. It is colourless and odourless, and is chemically inert, but it is dangerous because it gives off alpha rays. There is a detectable amount in the atmosphere, and concentrations can build up indoors in certain localities.

Radon Links Released to EPA by permission of The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) February 19, 1998 This National Research Council's report of the sixth Committee on Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiations (BEIR VI) addresses the risk of lung cancer associated with exposure to radon and its radioactive progeny. Radon, a naturally occurring gas formed from the decay of uranium in the earth, has been conclusively shown in epidemiologic studies of underground miners to cause lung cancer. There is supporting evidence from experimental studies of animals that confirm radon as a cause of lung cancer and from molecular and cellular studies that provide an understanding of the mechanisms by which radon causes lung cancer. In addition to being present at high concentrations in many types of underground mines, radon is found in homes and is also present outdoors. Extensive measurements of indoor radon concentrations in homes show that although concentrations vary widely, radon is universally present, raising concerns that radon in homes increases lung-cancer risk for the general population, especially those who spend a majority of their time indoors at home. For the purpose of developing public policy to manage the risk associated with indoor radon, there is a need to characterize the possible risks across the range of exposures received by the population. The higher end of that range of exposures is comparable to those exposures that caused lung cancer in underground miners. The lower end of that range includes exposures received from an average indoor lifetime exposure which is at least one order of magnitude lower.

    Extractions: General Questions General Questions What is radon? Radon is a radioactive gas. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert. Unless you test for it, there is no way of telling how much is present. Radon is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Naturally existing, low levels of uranium occur widely in Earth's crust. It can be found in all 50 states. Once produced, radon moves through the ground to the air above. Some remains below the surface and dissolves in water that collects and flows under the ground's surface. Radon has a half-life of about four days - half of a given quantity of it breaks down every four days. When radon undergoes radioactive decay, it emits ionizing radiation in the form of alpha particles. It also produces short-lived decay products, often called progeny or daughters, some of which are also radioactive. Unlike radon, the progeny are not gases and can easily attach to dust and other particles. Those particles can be transported by air and can also be breathed.
