Went to the NAS web page and found:

How many physicists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one. According to Heisenberg, all you have to do
is observe the light bulb, and you change it.

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,
