I say no: There's ONE paper showing only correlations with radon levels in communities and number of diagnosed Alzheimer's cases. There's no plausible mechanism, no animal model, and the claim has been floated for the past five years, popularized of course by big-money radon-removal companies. I think this is rubbish.
