We have a Radon problem. A house up the street has 90 picoCuries (owners emit a slight blue glow at night 'g'). The next in line has 40, the next is
12 and then there is ours, not yet tested.I have been trying to get info off the 'Net regarding Radon exposures. So far the best I have obtained refers to a lifetime of exposure (whatever that means). For example, a lifetime exposure of 10 indicates that 18 people out of a thousand "could" come down with lung cancer. This is twenty times the probability that we could die in a house fire.
As indicated this is all based on a lifetime's exposure. What I need to know is the risk of exposure of a much shorter time, say, two years.
Does anyone know of a data source(s) where I can search for the info I want? Also is there another NG I should consult?
