    This document discusses radioactive gases radon and thoron and their decay over time. It provides information on their half-lives, initial count rates, and how their count rates decrease with time. Specifically, it notes that radon has a half-life of 10 days and provides count rate data for its decay over the first three half-lives, while thoron has a much longer half-life of 2000 years.
