Radon decaying to polonium in humans, illustration
Radon decaying to polonium in humans, illustration. Radon is a chemical element that is a radioactive gas that occurs in nature. It is being continuously generated from radioactive isotopes in the Earth's crust. The most stable isotope of radon is radon-222, which has a half-life of 3.8 days. As a gas, it can be inhaled into the lungs where it decays via alpha particle production to produce polonium-218, a solid that has a half-life of just over three minutes. Further decay takes places, eventually producing a stable isotope of lead. The effects of this can lead to an increased risk of lung cancer. For this illustration with labels, see image C047/4523.
