I believe she is referring to Radon. Whether it occurs in groundwater or not I don't know. It does outgas and collect in basements, etc...
Dan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon Radon (pronounced /ˈreɪdɒn/) is the chemical element that has the symbol Rn and atomic number 86. Radon is a colorless, naturally occurring, radioactive noble gas that is formed from the decay of radium. It is one of the heaviest substances that are gases under normal conditions and is considered to be a health hazard. The most stable isotope, 222Rn, has a half-life of 3.8 days and is used in radiotherapy. While having been less studied by chemists due to its radioactivity, there are a few known compounds of this generally unreactive element. Radon is a significant contaminant that affects indoor air quality worldwide. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings and reportedly causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States alone.[1] Radon is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking, and radon-induced lung cancer is thought to be the 6th leading cause of cancer death overall. > -----Original Message----- > From: Marshall Dudley [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 9:06 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: distilled water harmful, was Re: CS>Re: food prep with cs > > Clayton Family wrote: > > I like certain water- minneapolis city water (mississippi > river water, > > processed with a newish state of the art facility) put > through an RO > > machine, or failing that, distilled. > > > > the well water up here has radioisotopes in it; there is > less in the > > river water, even downriver from the power plant.
