Would someone please point me in the proper direction to help me verify the
correctness of the following statement?:

"The 1999 report from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) confirmed that
radon in drinking water causes cancer, primarily lung cancer from inhaling
radon transferred into indoor air."

I actually thought the NAS report showed that risk was negligible.

Thanks in advance,
