Biological significance

➤ Some bacterial microorganisms and mycoses can use Radon compounds as energy resources for the normal biological cycle.

Excess in the body

➤ Leads to respiratory system oncopathologies and leukemia.

Conventional medicine

➤ It is used in radon therapy to stimulate immune activity and increase the resistance of living organisms to foreign factors that cause cancer and infectious diseases.

➤ Provides an increase in the strength of the biofield, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, skin of the nervous system.

➤ Radon baths for the treatment of metabolic diseases, diseases of the joints, peripheral nervous system, etc.

➤ In radon baths, Rn is present in ultramicrodoses.

➤ Radon mud and inhalation of radon-enriched air are effective. Medical supervision and accurate dosage are required.

Unconventional medicine

➤ It is widely used in the field of homeopathic medicine, also for the treatment of post-theanism.

Toxic effect/antidote

➤ Radioactive decay products are retained in a living organism. The development of pneumonia, pathogenic effects on the alveoli and lung cancer are observed.

➤ Lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow are affected, and the number of leukocytes decreases sharply.



➤ Antidote: ventilation and air purification systems that reduce the level of radon in the air.

Interesting facts

➤ The obtained complex compounds Rn - Rn * 6Н2О, Rn * 2С2Н5ОН, Rn * 2СН3С6Н5 - are inclusion compounds in which Rn is bound by Van der Waals forces.

➤ Rn is the most dangerous of the radioactive elements.

➤ The radon content in the atmosphere is 7 * 10-17 % by weight.

➤ The radon content is measured with emanometers.

➤ Increased concentrations of Rn were found in groundwater near the earthquake centres.
