Re: Animal radon studies

Gary,



I remember reading a test refered to as the "smoking beagles" in the HPS 

Journal.  They found that radon has less affect on the beagles that were 

exposed to cigarette smoke because the mucus produced as a result of the 

irritant smoke shielded the lungs form the radon radiation.  I will try and 

find the story today.
