Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas with a half-life of 3.8 days from the decay chain series of uranium -238.Radon decays into various radionuclides most of which are alpha emitters endangering body cells as they get exposed to radiation.More,so descendants among them being lead-210 are solid particles with a longer half-life ,they tent to stick on dust particles and therefore when inhaled they pole a health risk. The levels of radon are high during winter as a result of frozen ground among other factors.During this time most people spent their time indoors which leads to higher exposure. There is a constant source of radon production in the ground which means all people are exposed to the risks of this life threatening gas and thus need to take action.However,how comes a large population do not pay attention to this gas?And what can be done to reduce the risks from radon?Join me in my poster presentation as I share ways to measure radon levels in homes,offices and practices that will ensure safe living from risks of radon.
