The following organization provides Radon Data and Information
The University of Iowa Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination (CHEEC)
supports and conducts research to identify, measure and prevent adverse health outcomes
related to exposure to environmental toxins. One of the areas of research is the long-term
exposure to radon in the home. The Iowa Radon Lung Cancer study, funded by the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, included investigators from the
University of Iowa, St. John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, and the University
of Kansas. The results from the study suggest that residential radon exposure is a
significant risk factor for lung cancer. More information on the study can be found
at the Residential Radon
and Lung Cancer Case-Control Study web site.
