Some scientists believe that radon dissolved in the blood may cause additional diseases beside lung cancer. In addition to the gas, one-third of the inhaled radon decay particles also pass through the lungs into the blood stream and then, get trapped. As we breathe in through the skin, the air also carries radon gas.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the radioactive decay of radium. Breathing high concentrations of radon can cause lung cancer.ery high levels of radon (above 10 or 15 pCi/L) are definitely dangerous. There are homes with these concentrations! Lower levels (2 to 10 pCi/L) are probably somewhat dangerous, with higher levels leading to higher risks.
