Re: Radio-Phobia

Sounds like the "sick building" syndrome. Poor quality air, poor 
ventilation and fungus in air ducts.. The issue IS one for the IH 
staff, and NOT health physics. The real problem is the phobia, and as 
Jim said, this is an all too common assumption .. it has to be a 
radiation hazard in the work place, or, within the community. Wait 
until the Cassini mission gets off the ground .. IF it ever does, 
which looks more unlikely every day. If it does, however, all ills, 
all increases in assumed illness (isosomatic or otherwise) will be 
blamed on Cassini.. Watch!
