Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the radioactive decay (transmutation) of uranium and it is found in certain soils. Because it is heavier than air, it tends to build up in the lower levels of households, like basements. Radon and its decay products can pose serious health hazards to people that are exposed to them. When radon-222 undergoes alpha decay, it transmutates into what daughter nucleus?

. Of much concern to environmentalists is radon-222, which is a radioactive noble gas that can seep from the ground into basements of homes and buildings. Radon-222 is a product of the decay of radium-226 that occurs naturally in rocks and soil in much of the United States. Radon-222, which has a half-life of 3.8 days, decays by emitting an alpha particle. Radon-222, which is a gas, can be inhaled into the lungs where it is strongly associated with lung...
