  • Richard--you could not be more wrong.

    It sounds like you did something against the closed home conditions, maybe opened a window or something, and you are angry because your money went to waste. That doesn't mean that every RADON measurement person is a crook. Check out the credentials of the person you hired.

  • Thank you for your comment! Please enjoy more of our videos on our ExpertRealEstateTips Channel.

  • This inspector isn't a radon inspector, he's a top Chicago home inspector who properly notes the potential danger of radon. But you're right that radon isn't a problem everywhere. Just in some places. Ilyce Glink

  • Is the worst place for radon the basement?? That what I have heard

  • Radon-222, the most stable has a half-life of 3.8 days; decays by alpha. It depends on the isotopes. Radon comes from areas of Uranium & Thorium bearing minerals and ores underground. Uranium (U) decays to Thorium (Th), Thorium decays to Radium (Ra), and Radium decays to Radon (Rn), by alpha & beta decay, I.E:

    He-4 = Alpha particle

    e- = Beta minus (electron)

    U-238 -> He-4 = Th-234

    Th-234 -> e- = Pa-234

    Pa-234 -> e- = U-234

    U-234 -> He-4 = Th-230

    Th-230 -> He-4 = Ra-226

    Ra-226 -> He-4 = Rn-222

  • the inspector is a dumbass period.

  • radon is A radioactive noble gas it has A half-life of 3 days and as A gas radon will enter your lungs and decay into lead-210 which will remain radioactive in your lungs for like 50 years or something. very toxic if you have any question on radon or uranium message me.
