Radiation exposure is cumulative. The NS is a political magazine representing entrenched interests in the USA. (Mainly medical) No level of radiation exposure is safe. Better get your lead underwear on, then. 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). No place to hide, really, for you :-) Quite right. Why do you suppose there has always been people died of cancer? The more you get, the greater chance of getting cancer. The greatest cause of cancer is the oxygen you breathe.It is carefully transported around the body and delivered to your cells where combustion takes place, and energy is produced. Some of the by product of this is oxygen radicals that are *highly* reactive chemically and attack your DNA. This causes damage. Fortunately all cells have repair mechanisms that fix this damage up, continually. Above a certain level of damage, however, these mechanisms can't cope. And for reasons I won't go into, this gets worse as you get older. Radiation splits up water molecules and produces the same sort of oxygen radicals, which is why the damage is similar. Below a certain radiation level, the body copes. Above it, it can't. That's why Linear no Threshold is cobblers. -- Tim "That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" -- Bill of Rights 1689- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - -Another hypothesis here says the exact opposite. -http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/55/8/1617.short It would hardly be surprising that free radical formation can kill cancerous cells although if you read later papers that cite the one above you will see that the methodology used above does not prevent tumour growth in a whole body system although there do seem to be some interesting effects when the oxygen radical is combined with poly ethylene glycol. Of course a man, like yourself, with such a vast scientific background will know that modeling an effect in mice (*) does not actually mean there will be as much of an effect when used clinicaly. The low end of all dose response curves has always been difficult to draw as there are legitimate differences in the way that models are drawn in order to compensate for a lack of definite knowledge of the effects of low doses (of compund or radiation) - there is a general acceptance that there is no threshold for carcinogenic or mutagenic effects this does not mean that there is a straight line relationship between dose and response - but there is a lack of evidence for extremely low dose response curves due to the difficulty in identifying the actual causes of harm in the large population sizes needed to gather such data. Cheers Mark (*)I may be unusual here in actually having conducted animal studies into carcinogenicity - although I don't do this anymore. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Do you have any that do? I can't find one, as it's hidden behind Dr Alex Concorde the specialist and Concorde grape juice being good for prevention! Andy Read all about LNT here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_no-threshold_model What emerges if you read it from a balanced perspective was that when standards for radiological exposure had to be implemented, they picked LNT as a model on which to base them. There never was, and never has been, strong evidence to show that LNT is an accurate model of low to moderate radiation exposure. Indeed results from random sampling and of course Chernobyl, suggests it grossly overstates the impact of chronic low level radiation. HOWEVER standards had to be set, and the LNT model was the worst anyone felt it could possibly be, so if we stuck to that public safety was assured. And importantly, it shut everyone up. It was essentially as stringent as anyone felt it needed to be.In politics a decisions that halts argument, is a good one. And the nuclear industry felt it could easily (if expensively) reach the standards, and the kit was designed to those standards. Now Dennis, or harry or whatever claims he worked in the NHS, where he would have had this drummed into him as a safety standard, and being a few candles short of a light bulb. believes that the model on which the standards are based to have more than *political* validity. The short answer to why radiologists wear lead aprons is of course politics: To protect the NHS from being sued when someone gets a deformed kid or testicular cancer, on the grounds that they were frightened by an X-ray machine, without lead underpants on, once, in 1972. There is almost no scientific evidence one way or another as to what the cumulative effects of low level radiation a It is just possible to detect cancer rates above average around radon areas, but the amount of radioactivity that represents is many many times higher than normal background, and about 1000 times the safe doses that nuclear industry workers or the public are exposed to. Cohen claimed in his 1995 paper (http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/%7Eblc/LNT-1995.PDF) that lower level radon radiation actually REDUCED the risks of lung cancer. And managed to find more evidence to support it than exists for the LNT model, although his results are widely ignored. What is significant about Wade Allison, apart from the fact he wrote a book, which presumably makes money (http://www.radiationandreason.com/) is that he is also a qualified medical professor of physics. With slightly more than an HNC in electrical machines, from 1967...This is essentially his field, and he has made it his business to study it. Whether he and Cohen are just mavericks trying to make names for themselves by swimming against the politically correct tide or whether they are in fact simply uncovering the reality of the rather less than horrifying dangers of low level radiation, is a moot point. There is a lot of money to be made in energy of any sort, and FUD is rampant. What is a fact, is that LNT, the theory on which radiological safety standards have been set most conservatively, has never been supported by any evidence whatsoever. Such evidence as DOES exist tends to refute it, but short of having half a dozen Chernobyls and a few million people to do the experiment with, it's unlikely we ever will be able to prove it or entirely refute it. |

To tell the truth that was actually cribbed out of a text-book (Toxicology 4th Edition Casserett & Doull) although this in now in it's 7th edition so the version I have may well be out of date in this area. That being said it just goes to show that theories are subject to revision. Personally I have always been suspicious of graphs that seek to show extrapolated dose/response relationships as the line drawn always seems to have some relationship to the employerof the author - ie those funded by big business and the like are more likely to adopt models that indicate a higher threshold whereas those drawn by 'green' funded organisations always seem to tend to the most apocalyptic result. That is not to say that the data is fudged but that the choice of model can be adjusted to suit the preconceptions required. this does not mean that there is a straight line relationship between dose and response - but there is a lack of evidence for extremely low dose response curves due to the difficulty in identifying the actual causes of harm in the large population sizes needed to gather such data.

Previously I was in charge of operations and maintenence at various large hospitals. I had to deal with radiocactive materials there. I have HNC in electrical machines, power and control sytems also in applied heat and mechanic. i came up from the tools. Well done for doing so. An HNC was equivalent to an A Level to those that came into education late in life. I worked for government industries such as the CEGB and Water Authorities. During the '80s, it was amazing to note the number of useless folk that migrated from those before privatisation to the NHS. Part of the problem that it still has. |
