A noble gas that is produced when radium undergoes radioactivity decay?
Yes, radon is a decay product in the uranium, thorium and actinium decay series.
What were the two difficulties associated with the extraction of uranium?
The problems are:- radioactivity and toxicity of uranium- release of radon- generally low concentration of uranium in rocks- possible contamination of the environment
Which element exhibit radioactivity?
Several examples are uranium, thorium, radon, actinium, protactinium, plutonium, americium, etc.
What are some effects of using uranium on the environment?
Uranium is a chemical element, toxic and radioactive. 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment, lands and waters. 2. Uranium release radium and radon. Radon is also dangerous by inhalation - being a cause of some lung cancers. 3. The radioactivity of the environment is increased. 4. The contamination of living organisms can be harmful above a certain limit.
What are radon daughters?
Radon daughters are the products of uranium decay.

Does radon have uranium in it?
Uranium and thorium minerals contain radon.
What is the process of making rayon?
If the questioner means radon then it is by uranium decomposing
Are there safe tiles that do not prensent radioactivity and therefore that are without uranium and radon content If not then what is the least toxic material to use as a floor?
Are there safe tiles, what is the name and where to purchase

When was radon discovered to be hazardous?
Immediately after the discovery of the radioactivity of radon, near 1900.
Radon is found in all kinds of rocks everywhere.?
Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
How dangerous is uranium mining?
The radioactivity of natural uranium is not so important. The external irradiation is very low. But the internal irradiation is dangerous: alpha radiations from inhaled uranium, radium and radon (Ra and Rn released by decay from U) can destroy pulmonary alveoli and cause lung cancers. Also the ingestion is dangerous because soluble salts of uranium are toxic.
What are radon daughters?
Radon daughters are the products of uranium decay.
What temperature is radon at when its stable?
All radon isotopes are radioactive and unstable; the radioactivity is not dependent on temperature.
