The Deluxe Radiological test includes analysis for Uranium, Gross Alpha & Beta, Radon, Radium 226 and Radium 228. Uranium is a naturally occurring element that is considered mildly radioactive. Uranium is present in most soils at a couple of parts per million, but can be much higher in certain rock formations. Uranium is known to cause problems with kidney toxicity and potentially some forms of cancer. Gross alpha particles emit radiation due to unstable atoms and include isotopes such as uranium 238, radium 226, radon 222 and thorium 232. Gross beta particles are subatomic particles emitted from radioactive atoms. Some beta emitters include tritium, cobalt-60, strontium-90 and radium 228. Radon is a gas that can accumulate in groundwater. It is a health concern because it can be released into the air and when inhaled is known to cause lung cancer. Radium is a radioactive element which has 25 different isotopes with only four that occur in nature. Of those naturally occurring isotopes radium 226 is the most commonly occurring with the others being radium 228, radium 224 and radium 223. Radium 226 is a decay product of Uranium 238, so high levels of Uranium may be accompanied by higher levels of radium 226.
