NIOSH Report was Bethlehem-also Kidney comment

[NiagaraNet@aol.com]

Dear RADSAFERS (some, but not all): 



I respond to almost all reasonable requests. When they become needless 

distractions, or when they become a primer for the uninitiated (or unwilling), I do 

occasionally ignore some folks out of sheer frustration. When a request is 

reasonable I comply.  READ--If I ignore you, maybe there's a reason.



AND ON TO THE BUSINESS at hand-

Here is a beginning point for the dose reconstruction that was done for the 

National Institute Occupational Safety and Health. There are hundreds of pages, 

covering many locations. Have at it and let us discuss the ramifications.

Franz:  

Interestingly, kidney disease is being seen not only in the *surviving 

workers in addition to their cancers, but also in the general population of Western 

New York.  I find no surprise in this. *See: Lewis Malcolm of Lockport's 

Simonds Saw and Steel. While dying of cancer, he died of kidney failure. I know the 

person who gave him his last dialysis treatment.



You have made a very good, albeit obvious observation and salient point about 

the area in question, industrial activities involving the MED and the 

chemical toxicity of these heavy metals. 

I appreciate your keen observation and comment that further supports my 

concerns, claims and impressions about a subject I feel very intimate with. Thanks.



Steve Darpa: Who searches for the truth? Just you, or just me? Are you 

ACTUALLY science, or are you just lay? The statement about science and lay people is 

from some old AEC director's comments about public confidence--Something I 

see you obviously have no use for.

Ps- I haven't forgotten you Barbara Hamrick, I'm formulating a response to 

your comments on two of my words, out of 631.
