   The radiation dosage from bathing in the pools is inconsequential: approximately 0.13 millirems (1.3 μSv) from the water for a half-hour bathing, around ten times average background levels. The air concentration of radon is about 850 becquerels per cubic metre (23 pCi/L) which is higher than the level (200 Bq/m 3 or 5.4 pCi/L) at which ...

   If levels are 20 picocuries radon per liter of air (800 Bq/m 3) or higher, the home owner should consider some type of procedure to decrease indoor radon levels. Allowable concentrations in uranium mines are approximately 1,220 Bq/m 3 (33 pCi/L) [ 102 ]

   Radon is thus assumed to be the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, and accounts for 15,000 to 22,000 cancer deaths per year in the US alone. [9] [better source needed] However, the discussion about the opposite experimental results is still going on. [10] About 100,000 Bq/m 3 of radon was found in Stanley Watras's basement in 1984.
