20 minutes after a fresh batch of Radon-222 atoms are dissolved in drinking water for the activity of Polonium-218 to grow from zero to that of its parent. Polonium is a toxic heavy metal that is also radioactive. It is regulated by the Safe Drinking Water
Act, but the EPA doesn't enforce this provision.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In April 2015, in response to a complaint that NYS Governor Cuomo continues to ignore, a director in his Health Department, Stephen Gavitt, wrote: "</span><b style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The
laboratory test results you provided with your letter indicated a radon concentration of 387 pCi/L. Even when the total theoretical alpha activity from radon and its decay products reaches its maximum value of about 1120 pCi/L at 5 hours, the yearly effective
equivalent dose due to radon ingestion is about 3.7 mrem/year; the dose contribution from radon decay products accounts to only 0.4 mrern/year. These dose estimates are calculated according to the dose coefficients published in the NAS report, and assuming
a "base case" diffusion of radon into the stomach wall and an ingestion of 2 liters per day of water.
