- mikeyouse 13y ago> But that's a gas why does it matter? You're thinking of Radon, which is a decay product of Radium (which is a metal). Radium is soluble in water, and similar enough to calcium that it's absorbed into bones where it releases alpha particles that will cause cancer in high enough doses.
