Radiation Hormesis -vs- Linear No-Threshold Model (LNT)
Permalink  

Evidence for this comes from the cancer map of the US. The annual level of natural background radiation is more than three times higher in the Rocky mountain states of Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico than in the low-lying Gulf Coast states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Yet the cancer death rate is higher in the Gulf states.

Is it time we learnt to love radiation?

I wonder if there are any other factors that can be isolated to explain this?  At a minimum counters a lot of the low-level radiation fears.
