Catch Up: The Scientists Who Alerted us to the Dangers of Radiation
Posted: 22nd January 2025
“The Scientists Who Alerted us to the Dangers of Radiation” profiles 23 radiation scientists over the previous half-century, who revealed that radiation risks were higher than thought, but who were victimized by governments and the nuclear establishments for doing so.
This book reveals that the harmful effects of radiation exposure – especially from the nuclear sector and especially to children – are more pervasive and worse than thought. These have been known for decades but suppressed by politically-motivated censorship and overt disparagement/persecution.
Anyone who ever wondered about radiation or its close relative, radioactivity, should read the book. It’s timely because several governments are pushing hard for more public exposures to radiation via nuclear power. It explains radiation in easy-to-grasp language which clarifies its dangers and risks.
Both authors present in this book launch:
Ian Fairlie, PhD, is a UK-based scientist who has served as chief scientific advisor to the British Governnment’s Committee on the Radiation Risks of Internal Emitters
Cindy Folkers is Radiation and Health Hazard Specialist for Beyond Nuclear.
