RE: UN Publication Available: Hereditary Effects of Radiation

[nick.tsurikov@ILUKA.COM]

Dear John,



Both volumes of UNSCEAR report are available for some time for free download

(as PDF files) from: http://www.unscear.org/reports.htm

<http://www.unscear.org/reports.htm>    It would take some time though

(files are comparatively big).

 

Kind regards

		medhp-sec'ers,



		The following publication is of especially significant

		interest to MHPS and may be worth exploring [NOTE: this

		is not an endorsement of these publications by the MHPS;

		however, past UNSCEAR reports have been valuable

		additions to HP bookshelves/library resources]:



		----------

		Hereditary Effects of Radiation:

		UNSCEAR 2001 Report to the General Assembly, with

		Scientific Annex



		 In this 2001 Report, the United Nations Scientific

		 Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation has

		 completed a comprehensive review of the hereditary

		 risks to offspring following parental exposure to

		 radiation. This report includes an evaluation of those

		 diseases, which have both hereditary and environmental

		 components, the so-called multifactorial diseases. The

		 new information presented in this report suggests that

		 radiation is less likely to have adverse genetic

		 effects than had been assumed. This report provides a

		 unique scientific basis for estimating radiation risk,

		 establishing radiation protection and safety standards

		 and regulating radiation sources for governments and

		 organizations throughout the world.



					**************



		Older UNSCEAR Reports still available:



		Sources and Effects of Ionizing Radiation

		United Nations Scientific Committee

		on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR)

		Report to the General Assembly, with Scientific Annexes



		Volume I: Sources

		Volume II: Effects
