[ RadSafe ] Article in January-February 2006 issue of AmericanScientist

[John Jacobus]

I looked for your name under "Full Papers" and
"Author's List," but could not find your name  listed.
 I think you are listed as "Jonson, J.R."  

However, I did find Dr. Johnson's paper.
"Cardiovascular Mortality Caused by Exposure to
Radon," Session 1 -- Radiation Effects, Paper 1e9. Try
http://www.irpa11.com/new/papers/papers.php?ses=1&ses1=e

I assume the term in the message below iss
"non-cancer" effects.
