Residential Radon and Lung Cancer Study
http://www.cheec.uiowa.edu/misc/radon.html
The latest and most substantial study ever on the link between radon and lung cancer (May, 2000) proves that residential radon causes cancer even at the low levels in homes. At the EPA's 4 pCi/L action limit, the lung cancer risk to women increases by 50%.
