GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * Well done.
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * In the History and etymology, paragraph 3, it would be best to spell out "International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry" and then add (IUPAC), I mean I know what it is, but how 'bout the person that reads this article. ✅
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. Has an appropriate reference section:
 * B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:

 * Is there a source available in the Isotopes section? ✅
 * In the Characteristics section, is there a source for this ---> "Natural radon concentrations in Earth's atmosphere are so low that radon-rich water in contact with the atmosphere will continually lose radon by volatilization. Hence, ground water has a higher concentration of 222Rn than surface water, because the radon is continuously produced by radioactive decay of 226Ra present in rocks. Likewise, the saturated zone of a soil frequently has a higher radon content than the unsaturated zone because of diffusional losses to the atmosphere"? ✅
 * In the Precautions section, is there a source available for the first and third paragraphs? ✅
 * C. No original research:
