Radon being soluble in water enters the underground water supply easily. All groundwater has radon and some have very high concentrations. Radon that enters a home through the water supply escapes from the water when flushed, heated or sprayed in showers, dishwashers, and clothes washers.
In homes with a private well, radon entering from the water can raise the radon in air to very high levels and breathing this air for long periods can increase the risk of lung cancer.
well water radon test concentrations commonly are much higher in water than in air. As a general rule, a measurement of 10,000 pCi/L radon in well water will contribute to 1 pCi/L throughout the household air.
