41. Health/Environment Issues Linked To The Nuclear Fuel Chain -- Section B A comprehensive report from the Canadian Environmental Advisory Council on the biological effects of radiation. Genetic damage, latency of cancer, units of exposure, biological effectiveness of radiation. http://www.ccnr.org/ceac_B.html

Health and Environmental Issues Linked to the Nuclear Fuel Chain by Gordon Edwards, Ph.D., prepared under contract to the Canadian Environmental Advisory Council Table of Contents Section B: Health Effects B. Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation B.1. Radiation Burns and Cancer Therapy B.2. Early Suggestions for Exposure Standards B.3. Sterility and Cataracts ... Section C: Nuclear Fission B. Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation B.1. Radiation Burns and Cancer Therapy Some of the harmful effects of ionizing radiation were apparent from the outset. Too much x-radiation caused recurrent reddening of the skin or loss of hair, hours or days later, often followed by painful radiation burns. By 1897, 69 cases of skin damage were reported. By 1902, hundreds of cases of x-ray injuries were documented. Surgery was often needed to repair the damage. In 1896, in Chicago, after painfully injuring his hand with x-rays, W. Grubbe [ ] decided to focus those same rays on a cancerous tumor, using lead to shield himself from unwanted exposure. His was the first recorded therapeutic use of such rays to shrink tumours. That same year, scientists in several other countries began using x-rays to treat cancer and to relieve arthritic pain. Gamma rays were found to be equally potent. In 1898, Becquerel carried a sealed tube of radium in his vest pocket. As a result, he got a nasty burn on his chest which ulcerated and left a scar. At about the same time, Marie Curie's hands suffered painful radiation burns after she handled a thin metal box containing a small tube of radium.

Radon Radon is a gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. It occurs naturally in the earth, but can become a problem when it builds up indoors. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. The radon program provides information on health risks from radon, testing for radon and mitigation of elevated levels of radon. Low cost test kits are available for citizens of New York State. Radiation Producing Equipment (X-ray machine) Registration Ionizing radiation (x-ray) producing equipment used in the healing arts or in educational institutions must be registered with the appropriate agency. X-ray facilities operating in New York City must register with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Office of Radiological Health (ORH). Registration information can be obtained from ORH by calling 212-676-1580. X-ray facilities operating outside of New York City must register with the New York State Department of Health's Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection (BERP). Registration information can be obtained from BERP by calling 518-402-7570.

Ronald E. J. Mitchel , Ph.D. Low Dose Radiation Effects This site features the latest scientific data , produced by Dr. Ron Mitchel, on the effects of low doses of radiation and provides additional links to other low dose research. High doses of radiation can cure cancer but low doses can prevent it . New research indicates that low doses of radiation Reduce the natural risks of cancer and birth defects. Most cancers and birth defects occur for natural reasons, and it is widely believed that any exposure to radiation increases th at risk. However, there is no scientific evidence that this is true for the low doses that most people might receive from the environment, medical tests or the workplace. On the contrary, surprising new research indicates that low doses of radiation are actually beneficial and reduce these natural risks. Ronald E. J.
