Radon isotopes (222Rn, 220Rn) are noble, naturally occurring radioactive gases. They originate from the alpha decay of radium isotopes (226Ra, 224Ra), which occur in most materials in the environment, i.e. soil, rocks, raw and building materials. Radon is also found in ground and tap water. The two radon isotopes are chemically identical, but they have very different halflives: 3.82 days for radon (222Rn) and 56 seconds for thoron (220Rn). Thus, they behave very differently in the environment. Both isotopes are alpha-emitters; their decay products are polonium, bismuth and lead isotopes.
