Re: Hazardous vs. Radioactive Materials



I thought oxygen at concentrations found at sea level was a known carcinogen (??). Don't know the dose response. Don't know what the ALARA police says about the new oxygen lounges at the airports.

Subject: Hazardous vs. Radioactive Materials

This may be slightly off-topic for this list, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any specific hazardous materials (carcinogens) that are present in the natural background, as radioactive material is, and what the "background" risk levels might be for those hazardous materials.
