| what exposure have you had with medical terminology: Kerry Crofton, 2009-06-01 Radiation Rescue: 4 steps to safeguard your family from the other inconvenient truth the health hazards of wireless technology Prominent physicians and eminent scientists around the world are raising the alarm about the adverse health effects of wireless technology cell phones, PDAs, wireless Internet access, headsets and more. Most assume that if something is on the market it must be safe. Surely, this wireless technology was pre-market tested before we flooded our homes, offices, schools and cities? No, it was not tested for safety and now leading scientists have the proof: it is not. And the government standards we rely on to protect us are out-dated and not relevant to this type of exposure their safe levels have been shown to cause biological harm. Nor is there any government or industry post-market surveillance to monitor adverse health effects. People of all ages rely on these increasingly high-powered devices. Its not only business people, as it was not that long ago. Parents provide their young children with cell phones believing it ensures their safety. Young adults most have never had a corded landline chat and/or text endlessly with pals around the country. On-the-go soccer moms tap away on their PDAs while waiting for the children. Many parents installed wireless baby monitors to keep their infants safe. It is crucial that these consumers be informed, that they know the proven dangers, and the proven solutions. To protect our families, to save our health, we dont have to give up the high-tech gadgets we rely on, and love; we do need to use them differently. K. Crofton shows us how in Radiation Rescue. In clear, easy-to-understand language K. Crofton gives readers the details, tools, coaching and resources they need to assess, prevent, and heal from the electro-magnetic radiation exposure that surrounds us all. An engaging narrative style will be consistent throughout the book, with technical information, references, research, and preventive measures for the healthy population. Interventions of value are also provided for people with related symptoms, and peer-reviewed studies and clinical protocols are referenced for their doctors. This informal, interactive style written in scientifically accurate yet non-technical language - is well suited to readers of all ages. |

Allen Robison, 2019-11-28 The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, also referred as 9/11, was an iconic event in US history that altered the global and political response to terrorism. The attacks, which involved two planes hitting the twin towers in Lower Manhattan, New York City, resulted in the collapse of the buildings and over 2800 deaths of occupants of the buildings, fire, police and other responders and persons on the street in the vicinity of the collapsing buildings. The destroyed towers and the surrounding buildings have since been replaced but the health effects that resulted from the release of tons of dust, gases and debris as well as the life threat trauma are ongoing, and represent a major health burden among persons directly exposed. Hundreds of scientific publications have documented the physical and mental health effects attributed to the disaster. The current state-of-the-art in understanding the ongoing interactions of physical and mental health, especially PTSD, and the unique mechanisms by which pollutants from the building collapse, have resulted in long term pulmonary dysfunction, course of previously reported conditions, potential emerging conditions (e.g., heart disease and autoimmune diseases), as well as quality of life, functioning and unmet health care needs would be in the purview of this Special Issue on the 9/11 Disaster. |
