there are actually no studies that show that radon at the levels found in many homes (and for which the guideline is to remediate) causes cancer. The only studies that show cancer involve uranium miners exposed to extremely high levels.http://radsci1.home.mchsi.com/irlcs.pdf
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
