Re: Radon - recent articles supporting risk at residential exposures
John, I see nothing compelling in these five studies except for two items: First, there seems to be a remarkable absence of needed control procedures
and comparisons. I recognize that as a practical matter, these is not easily resolved. Second and even more obvious, why on earth is there a
gratuitous reference to depleted uranium in the first of the five studies you cited?
Sincerely,
