RE: Hormesis markers in population around NPP??
Jerry,
You are right about the study being useless, but for the wrong reasons
except for the first. The sample size is small, and not all confounding
factors may have been evaluated. I would consider this a snap-shot study of
a small population.

>From what we have learned on radsafe, this study appears to be useless
because:
*all possible confounding factors were not considered.
*no mechanism established
*not endorsed by NCRP, EPA, or any authoritative body
*not published in an Epid. Journal
*no meteorological data
*Hormesis not accepted by lots of people, so it must be wrong
To save a lot of effort, they should have determined the right answer
before they did the study:-)
