Radon is a noble gas. It is not to be confused with radium, an alkali earth metal.
Radon is a radioactive gas which comes from the decay of uranium in the ground. The EPA claims that it is a health hazard and causes cancer in people and animals exposed to it, though many conservative commentators and some industrial hygienists[1] state that the dangers are significantly exaggerated.
