Radon: Our Major Source of Radiation Dose
Introduction
Radon-222 is a natural, radioactive isotope of element number 86, that
occurs in the uranium-238 decay chain (see table 1). Its immediate parent is
radium-226, and radon-222 itself decays by alpha particle emission through a
series of short -lived decay products (mainly isotopes of polonium, lead and
bismuth) to lead-210 and on eventually to stable lead-206.
