Proposed Performance amp Listing Criteria For Professional Radon Measurement Devices Presented by Michael LaFontaine P Phys CNRPP Lead Auditor Technical Evaluations amp QA The 2017 International Radon Symposium. A Dangerous Beauty. Abdullah . Alutaibi. A beautiful element. Marie Curie and other scientists discovered that radon glows, and it was quickly used for new forms of lighting such as illuminated paint. One artist planned to light up an entire stage and dancers with the glowing radon paint. Although the element was first put to utilitarian uses and medical applications, there was a very real beauty in its effect that people could not help but admire. The image above illustrates the complex, almost dream-like beauty natural to radon. . . Problems. Bruce Snead. MURC and NRPS at KSU. May 23, 2012.
