Were you looking for information about Radon? Raydon is a common misspelling of radon.
Radon is an odorless, invisible, and tasteless gas that seeps up through the ground and diffuses into the air. When inhaled, the radioactive particles in this gas can damage the cells that line the lung. The gas is present in nearly all air, and everyone breathes it in every day (but usually at low levels). However, long-term exposure to high levels of radon gas can lead to lung cancer. To help limit exposure, tests can determine if a home has elevated radon levels.
