[ RadSafe ] Natural gamma rays linked to childhood leukaemia

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Hey Group,
 
      Perhaps someone at the St. Jude Hospital in  Tennessee (USA) (a 
cancer hospital for
kids) should find out statistically what percentage of the parents of these 
 kids (one or both parents)
are smokers.  I'll bet the percentage would be quite revealing.
 
     The pathway is obvious.  Parents smoke a  filtered cigarette --- the 
filter protects the smoker
somewhat.  The filter does not protect the poor baby crawling around  on 
the floor or children
playing nearby.
 
     Guess Bernie isn't around to do this study.
 
     Take Care...    Regards,    Joseph R. (Joe) Preisig, PhD

Natural gamma rays linked to childhood leukaemia

A small but  statistically significant link between risk of childhood 
leukaemia 
and the  gamma rays we are all exposed to from our natural environment has 
been  
detected in a very large study led by Oxford University researchers.
