Long ago, Radon was produced as required in hospitals to treat cancer.
Radon is always present in the atmosphere in a detectable amount. People are exposed to this harmful gas through breathing air. This is very harmful for humans.
Levels of Radon found in indoor air are more than outdoor air. Level of radon gets high because it enters buildings through cracks in the foundations.
Radon is present everywhere. It is found in indoor and outdoor air. It enters the environment through soil, coal combustion, uranium and phosphate. It also enters through vaporization.
