CORVALLIS, Oregon, Oct. 2 (TNSres) -- Oregon State University issued the following news release:
A study of more than 700 counties across multiple U.S. states found a link between childhood leukemia and levels of decaying radon gas, including those lower than the federal guideline for mitigation.
The findings are important because there are few established risk factors for cancer in children and the role of the environment has not been explored much, said Oregon State U . . .
