[ RadSafe ] Indoor Radon

[Otto G. Raabe]

May 18, 2005

Nearly all lung cancer (90 to 95% depending on the source of information) 
is associated with tobacco smoke. This is a matter of documented fact that 
is well known. Ending smoking will have a fantastic beneficial impact on 
health.

That radon in homes causes any lung cancer is purely hypothetical unless 
the lifetime dose to the bronchial epithelium exceeds 10 Sv. The EPA model 
for cancer from radon in homes is an unproved model.
