Synopsis
Cole (science, technology, and society, Rutgers U.) challenges the US Environmental Protection Agency's risk-cost assessment of radon in private houses, and the policy of extensive testing and remediation based on it. He claims that neither the epidemiological nor other scientific findings warrant the alarm, and wonders who is benefiting. For the general reader. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review
Splendid... Cole is so deft in analyzing the science and politics of radon that it is had to know whether to laugh or cry. (Nature)
From the Back Cover
The Politics of Radon: The Danger of radon--an odorless, potentially cancer-causing gas--struck home in the 1980s when whole neighborhoods were deemed unsafe and homeowners were forced to relocate, sometimes at great expense.
