Massmedial fallout - Chernobyl disaster caused cancer cases in Sweden

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@HOTMAIL.COM>]

The links below are just examples - there are tons more out there.



A study which - as far as I can see:



* essentially points at ionizing radiation _not_ being the cause (because 

lack of excess leukemias)

* has not been based on individual dose estimates

* does not take into account the most important radiation dose source in 

Sweden (radon etc)

* hardly can show a statistically significant result due to the dose levels 

(and rates)

* is speculative regarding a promotion effect

* does not analyze overlap with previous fallout patterns from Soviet atomic 

bomb testings



My personal action only,
