Radium vs Radon: What Sets These Radioactive Elements Apart?
Radium and radon are significant contributors to environmental radioactivity, contributing to cancer and contributing to approximately 2% of all cancer-related deaths in Europe. Radon, which decays from uranium and thorium, naturally occurs in small quantities and can become hazardous to life if radiation levels exceed 20-50 mSv/year. Moreover, human activities can release radioactive elements into […]
