Re: Radon in urine Part 2 -Reply

Yes, probably the term "soluble" is not fully meaningful, with regard to
radon in water, because it is a noble gas. It is, certainly, readily
transported in water, to the point where, as you say, the major source of
exposure in, e.g., a residence, can be the radon liberated from the water
supply in the course of using it, especially as wash water (showers, baths,
the kitchen sink). There's a professor at the University of Maine who did
some seminal work on this, about ten years ago. My apologies to him, because
I can't recall his name. Can anyone help?
