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]
Similar spas currently exist in Germany, Ukraine, Belarus and Austria [8] [9] [10] and in Germany they are covered by public health insurance. [11] Revigator pots, which added radon to drinking water. [1] Radiendocrinator, designed to be held on the skin over endocrine glands. One jockstrap accessory enabled treatment of the testicles.

Florida is surrounded on three sides by bodies of water: the Gulf of Mexico to the west, Florida Bay to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. In addition to its coastal habitats, Florida has a variety of wetland habitats, such as marshland, swampland, lakes, springs, and rivers. Florida's largest river is the St. Johns River.
The Atlantic Ocean near Florida’s southeastern tip is running three and a half degrees higher than normal in Fahrenheit, with waters in the Florida Keys up to seven degrees above average.
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]
Thinking of plants as lives that serve their own purposes opens up a distinct way of understanding our connection to them. They are independent from us and yet knowable; otherworldly and yet familiar.
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.
