Rad. induced heart attacks
Fellow Netters:
I have been asked to document that radiation does or does not cause
heart attacks. The University experienced two deaths to heart attacks
on two consecutive nights in a department here on campus. Now everyone
feels these deaths are related to working conditions. The latest theory
is that this department is located next to physics and since everyone
knows that RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL is used here -- THE HEART ATTACKS WERE
SOMEHOW INDUCED BY RADIATION!!
I have stated that an exposure low doses of radiation would not cause this
type of specific biological effect. Now I have been asked to show some
type of documentation to that this is the case. My question is:
Does anyone have any information on this topic?
or
Does anyone know where I could possible get this information?
Thanks in advance for your help.
