    Water, oil and gas from a well often contain radon. The radon decays to form solid radioisotopes which form coatings on the inside of pipework. In an oil processing plant the area of the plant where propane is processed is often one of the more contaminated areas of the plant as radon has a similar boiling point to propane. [14]

  4. Health effects of radon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_radon

    Because atmospheric radon concentrations are very low, radon-rich water exposed to air continually loses radon by volatilization. Hence, ground water generally has higher concentrations of 222 Rn than surface water, because the radon is continuously replenished by radioactive decay of 226 Ra present in rocks. Likewise, the saturated zone of a ...

    State regulated plant species are listed in the State of Florida Noxious Weed List, and the State of Florida Prohibited Aquatic Plants List. [178] Many of the non-native plant species documented in Florida are assessed for invasive potential by UF/IFAS. [179]

    Natural radon concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere are so low that radon-rich water in contact with the atmosphere will continually lose radon by volatilization. Hence, ground water has a higher concentration of 222 Rn than surface water , because radon is continuously produced by radioactive decay of 226 Ra present in rocks.

    A typical radon test kit Fluctuation of ambient air radon concentration over one week, measured in a laboratory. The first step in mitigation is testing. No level of radiation is considered completely safe, but as it cannot be eliminated, governments around the world have set various action levels to provide guidance on when radon concentrations should be reduced.
