Muon decay in bodily tissue should create a source of 0.51 Mev EMR equal to about 103 electron-positron annihilations. This is brobably sufficient to cause genetic damage, initiation of bad cancer cells, particularly in older folks whose immune system is not as good as it might have been in younger years. As far as I know the ICRP ignores muon exposure. (It's statistically a never-mind exposure.)

One thing that Holmlid, ME356, Eros, and Defkalion all have detected is a high state of ionization as muons interacted with matter and ionized it. There must be a huge flux of muons produced to disable electronic equipment at meters away from the LENR reaction. If LENR is heavily deployed in a high density urban housing situation, then a dense field of general muon interference will produce a impossible to shield zone of electronic and electrical failure.
