RE: BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LOW LEVEL RADIATION

[COMSTOCK_DANIEL_L@em.lanl.gov]

    It looks like I may have missed one or two messages on this subject, so 
    please forgive me if I'm repeating something that has already been 
    said.
    
    Health Physics, Vol. 52, No. 5, May 1987, is entitled "Special Issue on 
    Radiation Hormesis," and was edited by Leonard Sagan.  The table of 
    contents is a bit lengthy, but here are the section headings:
    
    Editorial Comment (by Genevieve Roessler)
    Preface (by Jerry J. Cohen)
    Guest Editorial (by Leonard Sagan)
    Hormesis Overview
    Cellular and Tissue Level Effects
    Plant and Animal Effects
    Alpha-Particle Exposures
    Human Effects
    Mechanisms
    Correspondence (a brief exchange between John Gofman and Leonard Sagan)
    
    I would guess this information, being nearly seven years old, isn't as 
    current as the item mentioned by Bill Condon, but this is a good source 
    of information on radiation hormesis.
