RADON:

>> Prof. Glenn Lykken’s work on radon:
Prof. Lykken concludes that environmental radon is indeed stored in the body
and body concentration correlates with body fat in females,
reflecting seasonal concentrations in their dwellings.
Radon decay products include a number of alpha and beta particle emitters,
emissions of which produce a radiation risk in fat-rich tissues.
Prof. Lykken and Dr. Momcilovic present factual evidence that challenges
current fallacies and misconceptions of radon uptake by the body and subsequent in vivo behavior.
