Making Sense of Radiation
Statement
Misinformation about radiation and its health effects is distorting public discussion. People can’t tell which claims are ill-founded or the kind of radiation being discussed, and they are being made to worry unnecessarily. Such anxiety helps no-one but sellers of anti-radiation products and what’s more, policy and public discussion can’t advance without a clearer picture of the science involved. It is time to challenge this situation, to put across the evidence and to equip the public with the tools to make sense of radiation and health claims. | |
