Radium Article in Florida paper

[Stewart Farber <farbersa@optonline.net>]

Radsafe:

Yesterday I sent a brief note to Scott Streater,  the report who wrote the 

article posted to radsafe on Wednesday [see hyperlink below]  expressing my 

dismay at the inaccuracy of the article and the graphic which accompanied 

it.



LINK TO ARTICLE IN QUESTION:

http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/news/090703/Local/ST002.shtml





The reporter has gotten back to me today [see his email below the  

"=======" ] asking what I felt was "inaccurate and misleading". As he notes 

below, a "physician from the American Cancer Society" wrote him stating it 

was accurate. I have a number of clear concerns I will put into a note 

which I'll prepare this weekend.



However, if anyone who read or might read the article in the Pensacola News 

Journal [click on hyperlink above] about radium in water, and wants to 

suggest their thoughts which may raise points I might overlook,  in a reply 

which I'll compile and edit, please send your comments to me and I'll pull 

them together into a single submission.



Alternatively, feel free to follow the links in the above article to send a 

comment yourself directly to the journalist, Mr. Streater.
