Iowa Radon Study

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

>From: RuthWeiner@AOL.COM



Finally, I, for one, read the radon posts with great interest.  I do have a 

couple of questions: (1) what agency funded the Iowa Study.



Ruth, I am interested on why you ask that question?



If you read the Iowa paper, it says in the acknowledgements that the study 

was funded by the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences.

It also says the views expressed in the paper do not necessarily reflect 

those of the NIEHS.  The NIEHS also funded the combined Conn, Utah and S. 

Idaho Radon Study.



Ruth, I agree that these issues should be approached with common sense.  

There has probably been more research on radon health effects than almost 

any other carcinogen or non carcinogen. The upcoming pooling is the largest 

pooling ever done on any chemical or radioactive material.



Don
