Dan,
Radon and radon compounds should distill out easily though? And are they
conductive? Would they show up on a uS meter?

Radon (pronounced /ˈreɪdɒn/) is the chemical element that has the symbol Rn
and atomic number 86. Radon is a colorless, naturally occurring, radioactive
noble gas that is formed from the decay of radium. It is one of the heaviest
substances that are gases under normal conditions and is considered to be a
health hazard. The most stable isotope, 222Rn, has a half-life of 3.8 days and
is used in radiotherapy. While having been less studied by chemists due to its
radioactivity, there are a few known compounds of this generally unreactive
element.
Radon is a significant contaminant that affects indoor air quality worldwide.
Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings and reportedly
causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States alone.[1] Radon
is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking, and
radon-induced lung cancer is thought to be the 6th leading cause of cancer
death overall.
