Book Description:
Radon is a naturally occurring volatile gas formed from the alpha
radioactive decay of radium. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless,
chemically inert, and radioactive. Of all the radioisotopes that contribute
to natural background radiation, radon presents the largest risk to human
health. This book discusses the geology, the environmental impact and the
toxicity concerns of radon. Some of the topics included are the use of
radon in balneotherapy; the health implications of radon in tap water;
methods of radon measurement; and facts and interpretations of radon
buildup in dwellings, spas and caves. (Imprint: Nova)
