The first surveys of radon in US (Colorado) uranium mines were made in 1952, when the raised incidence of lung cancer in miners first became apparent (United States Public Health Service, 1957). The level was highly variable, with medians for each mine varying from 7 x 102 to 3 x 105 Bq m-3. The median of the medians was 4 x 104 Bq m-3,1000 times higher than the median concentration in houses (Table 1.4). Subsequently, ventilation was improved and other measures were taken, for example disused parts of mines were sealed off. The median of medians was reduced to 1 x 104 Bq m-3 in 1956 and to 4 x 103 Bq m-3 in 1966. In a survey of six mines in New Mexico in 1970, George Hinchliffe (1972) found a median radon concentration of 7 x 103 Bq m-3. 

Booker et al., 1969). When volunteers inhaled decay products via the nose about 50% deposition was found in the nasal passages alone (George Breslin, 1969), and this reduced the fraction reaching the lung.

Unfortunately, most treatments for COPD have not been shown to improve survival or to slow the progressive dechne in lung function. However, many therapies do improve pulmonary function and quality of hfe and reduce exacerbations and duration of hospitalization. Several disease-specific quahty-of-life measures are available to assess the overah efficacies of therapies for COPD, including the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) and the St. George s Respiratory Questioimaire (SGRQ). These questionnaires measure the impact of various therapies on such disease variables as severity of dyspnea and level of activity they do not measure impact of therapies on survival. While early studies of COPD therapies focused primarily on...
