Contaminated Aquifers: Radioactive Water Threatens Middle East
The Middle East and North Africa suffer from water shortages and pump millions of liters a day from ancient aquifers. But the water contains high levels of naturally-occurring radioactive contamination. Experts fear this will increase the cancer risk for millions of people.

This whole scare story is based on the discredited "linear theory" of low-level radiation. Tiny doses DO NOT ADD UP to cause cancers. If they did, we all would have died of sunshine at age 3! Yet the stories are continually played out in the media.
Th problem in this area of the earth is LACK OF WATER! NOT TOO MUCH RADIATION! |

Contaminated Aquifers: Radioactive Water Threatens Middle East
The story is typical hype by an uneducated press. Many scientific studies show that on the average, people living in a higher than average background radiation live the longest. Even radiation workers live longer than non-radiation workers. This has been totally ignored by the press, and instead they present the unmitigated nonsense of this article. Instead of believing everything you read, do a little research on your own.
