Posted by AlM on Sun Mar 27 18:24:36 2011, in response to Ann Coulter: They Blinded Us With Science, posted by Jeff Rosen on Sun Mar 27 08:13:48 2011. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/29/science/earth/29brenner.html?hpwHere's a very good interview with a middle-of-the-road scientist who doesn't believe that Fukushima Daiichi will have major consequences for public health. But: Dr. Brenner, director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University — the oldest and largest such center in the world — found himself called on repeatedly to explain what was happening with the failed reactors and to assess the radiation risk to public health, both in Japan and around the world. ... He thinks CT scanners and the people who use them need more regulation to make sure the scans are medically needed and the doses of radiation as low as possible. He believes that even low doses increase the risk of cancer, and that there is no “safe” level or threshold below which the risk does not rise — even if that risk cannot be measured statistically. |
