[ RadSafe ] DEADLY radon...again

[edmond0033 at comcast.net]

I thought the FDA and the States regulated milk??.  However, only fresh 
unpasteurized milk may Radon.  I have measured thousands of pasteurized milk 
and never found Radon.  Unpasteurized milk usually contains it.  Another 
case of the Lawyers in EPA making up 'bad' regulations.  How about them not 
breathing for two hours a day so as not to pollute the air with carbon 
dioxide??

This is my opinion only!!!

Better inform the milk folks from the FDA since milk is their purview. On 
second thought, make a one line deletion and initial right here on Radsafe 
since I know you will agree this is another example of 
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much government regulation!!

And yet another environmental hazard that many of you probably never thought 
about:  milk.  Yes, the EPA now regulates milk.  Why?  Because it contains 
fat, which is of course oil.  So a large milk spill is now an oil spill!  I 
feel safer now.  I swear I am not making this up.

I read that second sentence and I actually "sighed" at my desk... LoL... 
I'm glad you wrote to them Mike... Sensationalism is alive and well I'm 
sorry to say...  Hey, maybe you could re-direct them to Di-Hydrogen 
Monoxide... http://www.dhmo.org/.  That kills MANY more people than Radon 
Gas every year and those are solid statistical figures...

One of our local news stations is running this tonight:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee has some of the highest levels of radon 
in the country. The radioactive gas kills thousands every year. The widow of 
a Middle Tennessee Sheriff believes it may have killed her husband, and now 
she has cancer. NewsChannel 5 Investigative reporter Ben Hall looks at the 
danger inside their home, and what you should do to protect yours. Watch the 
report Thursday night on NewsChannel 5 at 10 p.m.

I sent them an email:

Radon does NOT kill thousands of people each year. Ultra-conservative models 
that fit functions through very high radon exposures and extrapolate down to 
normal, daily exposures, when projected over large populations, predict 
theoretical deaths. Money spent on mitigating these exposures could be spent 
on improving roads, vehicle safety, etc. and would save ACTUAL lives.
