Radon and lung cancer

["R. William Field" <bill-field@uiowa.edu>]

Dr. Cohen, 

 Please provide more specifics to demonstrate why the ecologic study I
mentioned  has erroneous data and how that contributed to the authors
paradoxical findings.  The authors themselves have been trying to find an
answer for their absurd findings for years and have been unable to do so.
I find it interesting that you feel you solved their paradox in 2 days by
saying they have erroneous data when the authors of that study have been
searching for the answer for years.
