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.
The only known health effect of radon is an increased risk of lung cancer. Radon does not cause any warning symptoms (like headaches, nausea, fatigue, or skin rashes), and if you are suffering from those symptoms or other physical ailments, you should consult your physician.
