You're exposed to radiation all the time. Hmmm. cosmic-ray levels are quite high at 30k ft, so all flying is out, better not go anywhere where there's granite (lots of radium) or near any coal fired power station (1 part per million of uranium in coal, lots of Radon emitted).

May I suggest that chemical mutagens in the environment - for example polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines which are produced when cooking meat (or fish) - may have some small input. *Historically people have tended to die of infectious disease before cancers have had a chance to get going. *Personally I would rather take a chance of cancer at 70+ than TB at 35. You say above "No level of radiation exposure is safe." *If it would not be too taxing I wonder if you could enlighten us all with the definition of 'safe' that you would like to use. *I suspect that you are going to be missing out on all of the acoutriments of modern (and most historic ones too) life if you wish to insist on perfect safety - certainly you won't want to use any form of transport or medicine. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's best to avoid unnecessary dangers. Why do you suppose asbestos is being removed from the environment? It's because it's an unnessary hazard. In the case of medicines all have adverse as well as good effects. It's a case of balance. I fly fairly regularly but I don't use a skateboard. |

Of course its written by someone else, who happens to be a professor of nuclear something. (Mainly medical) No level of radiation exposure is safe.

Shouting off your big mouth again on topics you have no understanding of. On the contrary, that link does not support the statements you make. but then, you don't know any science. So you must think it does. LNT is the current way that *safety standards are established*. That doesn't make it true, and indeed only second rate scientists with axes to grind have ever claimed that it was. Its a *worst case assumption*, and as such, is highly suitable for safety standards. . The whole point of the NS article was to point out that LNT is not supported by the actual evidence. |

Why do you suppose there has always been people died of -cancer? -The more you get, the greater chance of getting cancer. May I suggest that chemical mutagens in the environment - for example polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines which are produced when cooking meat (or fish) - may have some small input. Historically people have tended to die of infectious disease before cancers have had a chance to get going. Personally I would rather take a chance of cancer at 70+ than TB at 35. You say above "No level of radiation exposure is safe." If it would not be too taxing I wonder if you could enlighten us all with the definition of 'safe' that you would like to use. I suspect that you are going to be missing out on all of the acoutriments of modern (and most historic ones too) life if you wish to insist on perfect safety - certainly you won't want to use any form of transport or medicine. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's best to avoid unnecessary dangers. Why do you suppose asbestos is being removed from the environment? It's because it's an unnessary hazard. In the case of medicines all have adverse as well as good effects. It's a case of balance. I fly fairly regularly but I don't use a skateboard. Very wise. Most don't have wings, and it's hard to get them up to enough speed to fly. No, you stick with using an aeroplane for flying - makes much more sense ... :-) Arfa |

Obviously you're now a prime candidate for early demise. My claim has about as much value as that made by (some unknown numpty) at the WHO. The WHO estimate is based upon the number of people who suffered from thyroid cancer as a direct result of exposure to radiation. While all but nine recovered, the probability is that the majority will have a reduced life expectancy. However, the real point was that, even including the highest number of deaths that anyone can come up with, nuclear power still comes out as by far the safest form of energy. Colin Bignell In the latest New Scientist there's an article about the effect of radiation on health. Well worth reading. In summary single large doses are invariably bad for you. Slightly smaller doses spaced out to allow the cells to recover (as in radio-therapy) need not be bad. Lower level up to about 1000 times current 'safe levels' seem to do little or no harm. Our cells have evolved with an ability to recover from background and cosmic radiation. Once the initial high levels of radiation fell away in Nagasaki the population actually turned out to have only slightly higher levels of illness than similar cities elsewhere in Japan. Peter Scott- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That is complete ********. Radiation exposure is cumulative. Radiation expert now, are we? The NS is a political magazine representing entrenched interests in the USA. (Mainly medical) No level of radiation exposure is safe.

However there are no scientific facts, only more or less refuted hypotheses, In this case LNT is well on the way to being refuted. |
