Abstract

Radon gas is a radioactive gas that is all around us. It can get trapped in homes, especially basements. It is potentially hazardous in high amounts, so it is important to know about. This project studied radon gas in several locations in Utah. The decay of radon samples was studied, and levels found were compared to expected high/low levels.
