I'm not sure what you mean by 'not easily soluble', but
according to CRC, Radon is soluble in water at 22.4 to 51
cc per 100 ml. I remember that one of the places where
indoor Rn sampling should not be done was in laundry
rooms because there is a quite high Rn spike in air from Rn
coming out of solution in the wash.
