Responsible Editorial on Radon Risks

[Judd Sills <sillsj@GAT.COM>]

For those that are interested, the following URL (make sure that you
copy the entire address into a single line, as it will wrap in my
message to you all) is one of the more striking examples of a reversal
of public posturing on radon risks.  It is worth a few moments of time
for those of us who have tired of only seeing a single side of the
story on radiation risks.  It speaks of the LNT debate and quotes Dr. Cohen.
It is pretty scathing with respect to the EPA's role in stirring public
fears over radon.  For those of you on Radsafe that work for EPA, "Don't
shoot the messenger."  I am merely sharing this story with those who
are interested, and am not taking a position on the editorial's portrayal
of the EPA's radon programs, etc.
