Abstract
Radon is a radioactive noble gas that comes from the natural radioactive
Breakdown of uranium within the ground. We are exposed to radon by two main
Sources: radon in air and in water, to seek out the radon in water, we must
Know, Radon gas can dissolve and accumulate in water from underground
Sources (called ground water), like wells. Radon gas escapes from the water and
Goes into the air, some radon also stays within the water .
The measurements were performed by RAD 7 radon detector to measure
radon Concentration in water sample. In this research, the types of water concern
well Water.
We have taken 22 samples from many places in Palestine and from many
deep naturally occurring radon gas had come to be recognized as a potentially
Serious health hazard. The decay of radon produces radioactive ―daughters can be
ingested from well water or Can be absorbed in dust particles and then breathed
into the lungs. Exposure to High concentrations of this radon and its daughters
over the course of many Years can greatly increase the risk of developing lung
cancer.So, the radon gas is the greatest cause of lung cancer among non-smoker.
