What else can I help you with?
Can you smell radon?
No. Radon is odorless.
Can radon gas cause nausea?
No, radon exposure does not give you an upset stomach. Radon is dangerous because it can be inhaled and can undergo radioactive decay in your lungs. Further, the radioactive daughters of radon are all radioactive, and have an excellent chance of remaining in your lungs. These daughter products will decay and cause more radiation damage. Radon exposure is the second leading cause (and an underrated one) of lung cancer. Radiation sickness is unlikely, but cancer can (will) appear in those with higher exposures to radon. You cannot tell if you are being exposed to radon by anything but a radon test of the structure you live (or work) in.

What dangerous illness is caused by uranium?
For example lung cancers, from uranium (and the daughters radium and radon).
