Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It has no smell, colour or taste. Radon is produced from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is found in all rocks and soil. Radon can also be found in water.

Radon gas escapes easily from rocks and soils into the air and tends to concentrate in enclosed spaces, such as underground mines, houses, and other buildings.

Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) – radioactive materials which occur naturally and where human activities increase the exposure of people to ionising radiation.

United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) published in 2020 the report in Sources, Effects and Risks of Ionizing Radiation devoted to the Lung Cancer from Exposure To Radon.
