From the publication:
FOREWORD Since the discovery in 1984 of a house in Pennsylvania with several thousand picocuries per liter of radon indoors, other areas of the country have been found with significantly elevated radon levels. In this same period of time, the issue of public health risk from indoor radon has grown in both importance and controversy. Significant scientific questions yet remain about extrapolating the lung cancer risk from radon exposure in uranium miners, the source for radon risk estimates, to that of the general public. Residential radon epidemiology is viewed as the most direct approach to resolving these uncertainties in extrapolation of risk, and many such studies are planned or underway both in the United States and abroad.
