← Back to context Comment by VanTheBrand 16 hours ago Radon is radioactive. The alpha particles it emits can break down polymers and degrade plastics. 5 comments VanTheBrand Reply bluGill 12 hours ago Interseting - I have high radon (mitigeted in the house via a fan), if I burry fibre what will I need to do to get something that will work? I have an outbuilding that I want to give internet. lima 8 hours ago No, radiation from radon at naturally occurring levels won't cause any damage to plastics. CamperBob2 8 hours ago If it were radioactive enough to do that, you'd have a much bigger problem than some networking flakiness. VanTheBrand 5 hours ago I don’t disagree but your comment made it sound impossible which it isn’t. CamperBob2 5 hours ago It absolutely is, for all practical purposes. Alpha radiation won't go more than 100 um or so into plastic.
