Decay of the radon progeny while in the lungs is the methods through which the radiation dose is supplied to the lungs. This dose, which is the energy of alpha bits taken in by cells that line the lungs, is what gives rise to the potential for lung cancer related to exposure to radon. Created underground, radon approach the surface and ultimately diffuses into the ambience or in groundwater. Furthermore, the degeneration of radon generates alpha particleradiation as well as contaminated decay products that can exhibit high surface adherence to dirt particles.
