The concentration of radon gas remains fairly constant because although radon decays, it is also being constantly produced from the decay of uranium and thorium in rocks and soil. This continuous production balances out the decay, leading to a relatively stable concentration of radon gas.
Radon.
Uranium minerals like uraninite and pitchblende are known to contain radon gas. These minerals release radon as they decay and break down. Radon is a radioactive gas that is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, and can be harmful if inhaled in high concentrations.
It is present in the ground below the house and enters from below.

Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
Radon is released from rocks and then absorbed/dissolved in waters.

Radon is not abundant. Earth crust: 4.10-19 kg radon/kg of rocks Sea water: 4.10-22 kg radon/L of water

Tritium and radon are radioactive gases.

Radon.
Radon is a decay product of uranium, which is relatively common in the Earth's crust, but generally concentrated in ore-bearing rocks scattered around the world.
