RE: Lung cancer mortality from radon versus mortality from other <plus> RadonHealth Risks

["Rad health" <healthrad@HOTMAIL.COM>]

MICHAEL,



You never recanted your clearly erroneous statements concerning the Iowa 

study that you sent to President Bush.  These errors were pointed out in a 

letter in the Billet (http://www.stc-hps.org/billet.htm). Perhaps you should 

respond to that before you make more misstatements. It appears you make 

things up as you go to justify your own paradigms.





I noticed you didn't cite any of the

>studies that found negative associations



Michael, Which case controls were negative?  The only one I know about is 

the China cave study that had a lot of problems with indoor cooking and 

failure to account for gamma radiation in their eperms.





Here's my beef with the radon

>studies, Don's:  Does the wealth of data that you cite justify spending a

>trillion dollars? If so, what health initiatives would you say we should

>divert that money from?



Michael,



I think we should first focus on reducing smoking via increased sales tax on 

cigarettes and state smoking ordinances.  Secondly, we should try to reduce 

exposure as possible to all lung carcinogens including radon.





><MSF:  Then it apparently did not disabuse you of the notion of their

>significance.  Try reading some of the studies from the Russian radon

Do you have references for these studies?





Don
