Rocks and soils containing uranium produce radon during radioactive decay process. Being a gas, radon diffuses through soils and rocks and enters the atmosphere. Radon is water soluble and may contaminate drinking built on uranium bearing rocks or soils are exposed to high concentrations of radon. Continuous exposure to radon causes lung cancer in human beings.
