ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a Vietnam Era Veteran who was trained in NBC Warfare (Nuclear, Biological & Chemical), Radiation Detection and Radiation Decontamination at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Depot in 1970 and since that time I have been greatly concerned about the effects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation on human beings. Dr. John Gofman, who wrote Radiation and Human Health among many other books, shares my concerns. Human beings need to lower our overall exposures to all bands of non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation emissions. We should also educate all people regarding the dangers. People should own various radiation detection devices in order to easily monitor exposures. The "safe limits" of exposures, created by government and industry, needs to be updated and made more truthful to help people understand the true dangers. The heating up of human flesh is really only one of many kinds of criteria needed to establish safety and many of those other criteria are ignored, which is a crime against humanity. Young children and pregnant women are especially subject to higher risks of injury and need more protection. There needs to be much more public discussions about these matters.
