[ RadSafe ] Chernobyl fallout and school outcome

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

>From the article: "Indeed, the radiation exposure of Swedish mothers
reached a maximum dose of about 4 milliSieverts, perhaps twice the
normal background level and within the 'safe' control range of the
Japanese study, Edlund told Chemistry World."

This makes the process of supporting or disproving the premise that the
radiation levels cause the decrease in IQ a piece of cake.  Natural
background varies by far more than a factor of two over a relatively
small distance in a number of regions around the world.  It should be
relatively easy to plot out the areas of high background and demonstrate
that the people conceived in those locations are not as intelligent as
those conceived in low background areas.  

I am sure that in the spirit of honest and conscientious scientific
research Edlund and his coauthors are working to see if they can
disprove their theory, even as we speak.
