Actually, the whole radon thing is overblown. It was another scare like Alar, nitrates in bologna, etc., etc.
“Actually, the whole radon thing is overblown. It was another scare like Alar, nitrates in bologna, etc., etc.”
Depends on what a given person considers “overblown”. The Alar hysteria was unfounded, and ended in an unnecessary ban of a useful product. I personally have never been concerned about nitrates in processed meats, but if some want to avoid that stuff, that’s their business. I don’t lose any sleep over radon, but I do recognize everyone’s exposed to it, and just like some people die on the highway through no fault of their own, some people will get lung cancer from radon through no fault of their own.
Now if I lived in Stanley Watras’s house (look it up) I’d feel a bit differently.
