As I said nobody doubts that large amounts of radiation cause lots of cancers, 
the question is will a tenth as much radiation cause a tenth as much cancer or 
will it perhaps cause no cancer at all?

It is? Show me the evidence (and a policy of the World Health Organization is 
not evidence)that radiation received over a long period of time is harmful. 
I've looked but I just can't find any.

You did not read the study I posted did you? 
The epidemiological evidence linking exposure to Radon to increased risk of 
cancer is evident. The study is very well referenced and conclusive. Of course 
if you refuse to look at it then you will never see it and will then be able to 
continue to say that you have seen no evidence that radon exposure leads to 
increased risks of Cancer.
But, on the other hand you could actually just read the study (all forty or so 
pages of it if you care) and then if you still doubt you can go look at all the 
reference material that this report is based on.
