Hi Jaro:

I couldn't find that Bertell ever published anything in the Journal of  

Epidemiology and

Community Health. Some recent publications by other anti-nuclear  

"scientists" in publications that sound sort of similar that I could  

quickly find include the following:



20.Gould JM, Sternglass EJ, Sherman JD, Brown J, McDonnell W, Mangano JJ.  

Strontium-90 in deciduous teeth as a factor in early childhood cancer.  

International Journal of Health Services 2000;30(3):515-39.



21. Mangano JJ, Sternglass EJ, Gould JM, Sherman JD, Brown J, McDonnell W.  

Strontium-90 in newborns and childhood disease. Archives of Environmental  

Health 2000;55(4):240-4.



22. Gould JM, Sternglass EJ, Mangano JJ, McDonnell W, Sherman JD, Brown J.  

The strontium 90 baby teeth study and childhood cancer. European Journal  

of Oncology 2000;5:119-25.



25. Mangano JJ. Improvements in local infant health after nuclear power  

reactor closing. Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology 2000;2:32-36.
