79. Columbia Medical Professor: Inhaling just one radioactive hot particle can cause cancer

Dr. Andy Kanter, MD, MPH, President of the Board of Directors of Physicians for Social Responsibility, has studied radioactive plume projections from nuclear reactor accident scenarios and other public health impacts of nuclear radiation dispersion. He is the director of Health Information Systems/Medical Informatics for the Millennium Villages Project for the Earth Institute at Columbia University as well as an Asst. Prof. for Clinical Biomedical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology at Columbia University.

“Even a single hot particle consumed or inhaled into the body can cause a cancer.”

PS: Thank you, Gravitycollapse. I was trying to give people the heads-up on some of the dangers from three out of control nuclear reactors spewing who-knows-what into the environment, a story they're not getting in Corporate McPravda, TEPCO or the NRC: Geiger counters may notice radioactive alpha- and beta-decay, but they do not identify the element or isotope causing it.
