Radiation Is Called Natural Safe For Most During Activities
Dr. Jerry Allison a health physicist from the Medical College of Georgia spoke at Aiken’s Wakin breakfast on radiation risk. He said one chest x ray equals about half a litre of wine or 1.4 cigarettes and noted radiation is largely natural from sun, granite, and brick. He warned excess exposure raises cancer risk but radiation also treats cancer and is a two edged sword. In other business, USC Aiken athletic director Lew Perkins will become associate athletic director at the University of Pennsylvania, and a permanent meeting site for Aiken’s Wakin’ is sought.
