No. Radon is a gas, and a very volatile one at that. The only place it can accumulate is in totally sealed basements.
no
It is present in the ground below the house and enters from below.
Radon is a very heavy gas, several times heavier than air. When radon seeps into a basement as a result of low-level radioactive decay within rocks such as granite, it tends to be trapped there. This is especially true as homes are sealed tighter with insulation and weather strips. A full time ventilation system that circulates air from around the outside of basement floor and walls will stop radon buildup.
Because radon can be accumulated in buildings, in closed, non ventilated areas.

It depends of various factors, like how many people live in the house and the amount of time they spend in it (especially in the basement). The EPA recommends fixing the problem if there are radon levels of 4pCi/L or more. Therefore, it is recommended you seek out a professional to reduce the radon levels in your home.
Radon is an important problem for the atmosphere in the buildings not for the water. Radon from the water can be eliminated by boiling the water. Also because the most important isotope pf radon, 222Rn, has a half life of only 3,8235 days radon disappear after a period of time.
There are actually a lot of detectors you can get for your home that will see if you have a radon problem. Here is a link to a government website with more information. www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/consguid.html
