Re: Two Person Debate

["Philippe Duport" <pduport@uottawa.ca>]

I do not agree with Dave Biela and Michael Stabin:  The debate on low-dose

effects interests more a few people, even if not all intervene in the

debate.  There are many important facets in radiation protection,

operational and otherwise.  The debate on low-dose effects is crucial, it

fundamentally concerns the real, not theoretical, monetary and public health

cost-effectiveness of ALL the resources used to reduce/eliminate doses at

natural environmental levels, whatever the source.  If public health

policies and practices are about saving real (as opposed to hypothetical)

lives, are we, serving our society well ?
