The materials comprising this directory were put on-line during 1992 and sent out to internet news groups from November thru March, 1993. An Overview provides the 1992-based point-of-view which drove the original series.
This sub-section of the Health Costs of Low-Level Ionizing Radiation contains the first electronic texts worked up by the ratitor in an effort to communicate his concerns about the burden to our biosphere and the injury to all that will follow us here from the man-made radioactive matter generated in only the past 50 years. One of the most astonishing facts of the age we find ourselves living in is how, in the short span of less than a single died-at-a-ripe-old-age human lifetime, a man-made toxicity of such magnitude -- the likes of which are anomalous to anything heretofore manifested by the hand of man -- has been unleashed upon all life here, with its lethal, biological burden now a fact for upwards of millions upon millions of years.
For those concerned about all this but new to the subject, we recommend starting with:
