[ RadSafe ] Uranium Inhalation Poisoning? Controls?

[howard long]

Inhalation toxin found to be most often causing cancer by Bruce Ames, UC Berkeley
chemist (who wanted to pin down the dirty refinery and other industrial pollutants) -
was pine resin in the air! 
 
Ames' studies (reported to a meeting of Doctors  for Disaster Preparedness)  showed, for foods, not the expected artificial colorings, preservatives and flavorings, but wine and beer 
to have 10x the risk of cancer from such other sources!

Add tobacco and obesity to have real skepticism about a specific cancer being from U or anything else, especially when politically convenient. Cancer has been shown more frequent above 100rads -and less below 10 rads acute (bomb studies) with better evidence for cancer prevention than causation below 10 rad/year ( Taiwan Apts, Karbala, Canadian fluroscopy, British radiologists, NShipyard workers, more radon in USA counties with least lung cancer mortality, etc, etc). 
 
Like the witch-burners 300 years ago, who were convinced that witches caused the terrible weather, and the fearmongers of global winter (global warming? - same people!), the antinucs use mob psychology and scapegoats to hide their bad habits and ingnorance

Of course they were inhaling toxicants, just as all people do. We just
don't know which toxicants they were inhaling and how much they were
inhaling.

Also, according to the DU "poisoning" theories, the Bethlehem workers
should have expressed the Gulf War Syndrome symptoms long before the Gulf
War Syndrome symptoms were identified. By the time the Gulf War came
around, the symptoms expressed by the Gulf War veterns should have been
quickly noted to be the "Bethlehem Millworker Syndrome" symptoms. You may
recall that the current DU activist assertion is that the non-cancer
symptoms from uranium dust exposure would be evident long before any cancer
symptoms would be observed. The non-cancer symptoms should also be
expressed at a much higher rate than the cancer symptoms, if the cancer
symptoms were ever expressed at all.

In addition, the reporter's comment that "Many of those workers got sick"
could be made regarding any group of workers or non-workers anywhere.

Perhaps, Mr. Salsman's technical expertise will be helpful in explaining
the reporter's claim that, "It got so hot it could burn a blister on the
skin the size of a silver dollar."


Sincerely,
Don Kosloff
