Radon in water isn’t the same as radon in air. They’re related, but different problems.
The scary part? Most radon-related lung cancer risk comes from airborne radon. But water can release that gas into your air every time you shower, wash dishes, or flush the toilet. Yes, flush.
So you’re basically giving your lungs a little gas bath with every splash. Not great.
Step One: Know Your Enemy (And Your Test Results)
You need a proper test. Don’t just guess based on neighborhood rumors.
If your water radon level is above 10,000 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), you’ve got a problem. That’s the EPA’s warning zone.
Below that? You might be okay, but check with your local health department. They love this stuff.
