Re: Radon in spas versus homes

[Ruth Weiner <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

Appropriate residential radon epidemiology has an analogous set of confounders. 
First of all, one must start with a population whose residential exposure has 
been measured for several decades, which means people who are currently 
children, unles you can find adults who have measured their residential radon 
for the past 10-20 years.  Then, one has to ensure more or less con5tinuous 
measurement of residential radon exposure.  Finally, there has to be some idea 
of non-residential exposure (many adults spend as much time at their place of 
work as in their homes,and the owrkplace is often not as well venitlated as the 
home).  Is there a population like this?  Has anyone begun such a study?

Clearly only my own opinion
