Let me follow up on radon. In the response the EPA sends to us, I would like to see a reference to how long the radon guidelines are in place. Other members might have something to say on this. How much has been spent on this by the EPA and across Departments, including through external consultants, in terms of administration to deliver the message to people on the ground? What has been the uptake since the genesis? Perhaps a graph could be given showing the uptake. Are there any data on the incidence of lung cancer, particularly in red areas? I am very interested to see whether we have any bang for our buck in terms of overall positive health benefits, leaving aside the well-proven laboratory testing of methods. I am talking about practical testing on the ground.

Let me follow up on the drug content, illicit or otherwise, in urban water. This issue is important considering it is a problem in other European countries. It just needs to be monitored.
