RE: Radiation damage to immune system?

["Weiner, Ruth" <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

I would be suspicious of any title that includes "Atomic ... Legacy." I
personally never heard of the guy, though.

Clearly only my own opinion.

Subject: Radiation damage to immune system?


Today I received an ad for a book by Joseph J. Mangano, "Low Level
Radiation and Immune System Damage: An Atomic Era Legacy."  Can anyone
tell me if this concept is considered "cutting edge" or "fringe"?  Does
this person have a good reputation in the field?

I'm most interested in your professional opinions, as this is a claim I
hear frequently from some of the more vocal health/anti-nuclear
activists.
