Rather than chase their food, horned toads wait for unsuspecting prey. Often, horned toads sit near an anthill until their prey comes close enough to eat, then they swallow it whole. While in captivity with other reptiles, horned toads take the same leisurely approach to eating as in the wild. During feeding time, horned toads hang back while other reptiles eat, sometimes even after all of the available food has been eaten. As a result, housing horned toads with other species is not advised.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas without odour, colour or taste. It cannot be detected. without special equipment. Radon occurs as a product of uranium decay. Uranium is a. natural radioactive material found in varying amounts in all rocks, soil, concrete and. bricks. It occurs everywhere on earth, especially in rocky and mountainous areas.
Because radon is a gas, a fraction of the radon produced in the soil can find its way into a building. The rest is trapped in the soil. In the air, radon decays to radon daughters that are solids, and are present in the building air as fine particles.adon is emitted by radium in the ground, groundwater and building materials. It can enter the indoor air where it and its decay products accumulate in poorly ventilated areas. Harmful levels of radon and radon daughters can accumulate in confined air spaces, such as basements and crawl spaces.
