I am no scientist but I know radon is bad, and it comes from underground.
Underground water can contain radon, and it is an issue when it comes to wells and houses. Trees can suck that radon and when you burn wood a radon meter shows an increase.
- mcpackieh 3y agoA tree could suck up water containing radon, but after you cut down the tree and let it dry under a shed for a few weeks that radon will be gone. It will have all decayed away because the half life is only 3.8 days. For firewood to still contain radon a few weeks after the tree was cut down, it must have a fairly substantial amount of uranium or thorium in it (constantly producing new radon.)
