Radon can cause lung cancer but it is also used in radiation treatments for some times of cancer (ironic, I know); and some people go to Radon spas located in Russia and Central Europe because they believe that it can cure some ailments such as rheumatiod Arthritis, multiple sclerosis, depression, and cataracts. Also there is some evidence (though this is not a proven theory) that in areas where an earthquake is about to occur the Radon level increases. Radon is a Noble Gas (therefore a gas a room temperature) and is very unreactive to other elements, therefore it does not want to burn and the only confirmed compound of it is Radon Fluoride (RnF). Radon is also highly radioactive and has no color, no smell, and no taste.

Radon gas can cause lung cancer after smoking. Non-smokers can get them as well. Gas rises up underneath the homes if there is low pressure in the house, and it can act like a vacume. Radon gas is the heaviest gas of all, so it should be sitting on the flours. High levels of radon is like smoking 135 cigarette packs a day. There are radon detection kits and radon extraction services. The extraction services may cost as much as a small home repair.
