People have become more aware of radon, the barriers and monitors put in and maps showing high levels of radon. Has the EPA carried out an audit of the impacts? Are there any positive impacts? Mention has been made of 300 cases of lung cancer cases, which is an arbitrary figure. Is a figure available for the period before the EPA did anything about radon? Do we know whether the barriers and the changes to the way we build houses have had any tangible effect on lung cancer rates? Is it working?
