← Back to context Comment by VanTheBrand 20 hours ago Radon is radioactive. The alpha particles it emits can break down polymers and degrade plastics. 5 comments VanTheBrand Reply bluGill 17 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 13 hours ago No, radiation from radon at naturally occurring levels won't cause any damage to plastics. CamperBob2 12 hours ago If it were radioactive enough to do that, you'd have a much bigger problem than some networking flakiness. VanTheBrand 10 hours ago I don’t disagree but your comment made it sound impossible which it isn’t. CamperBob2 10 hours ago It absolutely is, for all practical purposes. Alpha radiation won't go more than 100 um or so into plastic.
