Home Inspection For Radon

Radon-222, the most stable has a half-life of 3.8 days; decays by alpha. It depends on the isotopes. Radon comes from areas of Uranium & Thorium bearing minerals and ores underground. Uranium (U) decays to Thorium (Th), Thorium decays to Radium (Ra), and Radium decays to Radon (Rn), by alpha & beta decay, I.E:

He-4 = Alpha particle

e- = Beta minus (electron)

U-238 -> He-4 = Th-234

Th-234 -> e- = Pa-234

Pa-234 -> e- = U-234

U-234 -> He-4 = Th-230

Th-230 -> He-4 = Ra-226

Ra-226 -> He-4 = Rn-222

radon is A radioactive noble gas it has A half-life of 3 days and as A gas radon will enter your lungs and decay into lead-210 which will remain radioactive in your lungs for like 50 years or something. very toxic if you have any question on radon or uranium message me.

what the hell is radon? where does it come from?

radon is formed from the radioactive decay of uranium that is in the earth, some areas have higher levels due to higher uranium contents.

the inspector is a dumbass period.

how about michigan? like near detroit?

Is the worst place for radon the basement?? That what I have heard
