We found out that the home we lived in for 6 years had Radon in the water. I don't know what the exact levels were. Does anyone have information as to what health risks we were exposed to? Articles I have found on the internet seem to be both technical and vague. Thanks for any info

Hi,
Radon in water doesn't become a problem until it reaches 10,000 pCi/L. Yes that's a big number. The worry is that it cause some types gastrointestinal cancers. But I don't believe there is any hard evidence to support it. But radon in air is well documented and a concern.

Regards
