Samet Editorial Re: NCI Missouri Study
Cautioned that residential studies "that showed no statistical significance for associations between radon and lung cancer cannot be interpreted as suggesting no risk of exposure to indoor radon."
Described residential studies as individually having "little prospect for characterizing the risk of exposure to indoor radon."
Warned: "Neither policy makers nor the public should look solely to the epidemiological studies of indoor radon and lung cancer in determining the imperative for risk management."
