Electronic configuration Radon or rado (formerly called niton or nito) is the chemical element which in the periodic table is represented by the symbol Rn and atomic number 86. Discovered in 1899, it is a noble and radioactive gas that is formed by the alpha decay of radium, generated in turn by the alpha decay of uranium. Polonium and bismuth are the extremely toxic products of the radioactive decay of radon. Radon is a very heavy gas, dangerous to human health if inhaled in significant quantities. One of the main risk factors for radon is related to the fact that, accumulating inside homes, it is the second leading cause of lung cancer, especially among smokers. As for the industrialized countries, recent statistical studies carried out by the USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) estimate about 21,000 deaths a year in the US attributable to residential radon; similar values were estimated for studies carried out in the European Union. #Rn #Rn86 #Radon
