Estimates of lung-cancer risk from exposure to radon daughters are largely based on epidemiological studies of underground miners. The reliability of exposure data for these miners is a cause for concern, as actual workplace measurements of radon and/or radon-daughter levels are either sparse or absent for the early years of mining, when much of the exposure occurred.
