In the committee's modeling effort, the risk posed by ingestion of radon depended in large part on the estimation of the extent to which radon diffuses through the stomach wall; no data are available to address this. Although bounds on the risks can be estimated by considering zero or 100% diffusion, the resulting risk estimates extend over a factor of 100.

The size of the particles in the indoor aerosol is a key determinant of the deposition of radon decay products in the lungs and of other health risks associated with indoor exposure to particulate matter. Thus, a national, statistically valid assessment of the distribution of human exposures to indoor aerosols would be helpful in many risk-assessment problems, including the effects of the presence of radon decay products in indoor air.
