William,
Don't go for the fun... go there and study! and then study some more.
And when you get to the question that asks if radon is the product that you should be worried about or the progeny is the dangerous part.... go for the progeny... it is the decayed items such as alpha particles that cause the health issues.
Don't be like me and read the question wrong...... as I left the building I realized how I read and answered the question. Stupid me!
Best wishes on it!

thanks for the heads up, I find you need to be in the learning mode for these. I'll have to hit some publications prior and get my head in the right space.

looking forward to the course
