Re: Linear No Threshold Model Information for EPA

If this discussion is any indication, it appears that those repudiating the
linear model are mostly engineers and HPs.  I do not hear a host of
biologists joining this chorus.  A few have been quoted, but not a large
number. If HPS becomes an advocate in this area, we could lose our
credibility.  Until and unless the biology community (including RRS and NAS)
take up this cause, HPS and ANS could come out looking like tobacco company
toxicologists.
