Most Recent Posts Low Level Radiation is a Bigger Risk Than You Think!!Posted Apr-29-08 09:49:27 PDT Updated Apr-29-08 11:00:33 PDT Hi eBay Friends! For those of you concerned with health and safety, I have some quick comments about an unseen but important environmental risk. I've been researching the subject of low level nuclear radiation for several years now and the more I study, the more shocked I am at the potential for disaster in this country. There are so may vectors for this type of contamination: terrorist attack, nuclear plant discharge, depleted uranium waste, or even something as simple as in-flight atmospheric radiation. People don't realize how much danger they're in. The long terms effects are usually cancer, which by the way is a horrible nightmare, as we all know. We're taking about an odorless, colorless, invisible and silent killer that no one talks about or even considers The damage accumulates over a very long period of time so there isn't a sense of urgency about the problem. But when you look at the downside, I can easily see the benefits of owning a personal detector to tell me if I am being exposed to harmful levels, even if relatively low. And by the way, a level of only about 4 times atmospheric has the potential to cause birth defects in pregnant women. Yes, definitely something to think about! For more details on specific sources of low level contamination, you might want to check the site of one well known manufacturer, Gamma-Scout. |
