Study suggests some breast cancer patients facing radiation after a mastectomy may be over-treated
A new study suggests standard radiation therapy for some breast cancer patients may not be medically required and may, therefore, be causing unnecessary serious side effects such as lymphedema and pulmonary problems. view more (2008-09-22)
Exposure to radiation after Chornobyl increases risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents
In a study of thyroid cancer after the Chornobyl accident in 1986, researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health report that exposure to radioactive iodine ingested through the food chain increases the risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents. view more (2006-07-06)

3-D radiation treatment planning reduces feeding-tube use
Although current surgical techniques and multi-modality treatment regimens allow organ preservation for a growing number of patients with head and neck cancers, remaining dependent on a feeding tube after treatment is a major problem for these patients. view more (2006-11-06)
Radioactive waste – no problem for metal-munching bacteria
A harmless soil bacterium, which can survive high-level exposures to gamma radiation, is being developed to clean up land contaminated with radioactive waste, experts heard today (Wednesday 12 September 2001) at the bi-annual meeting of the Society of General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. US government researcher Dr. Michael Daly... view more... (2001-09-07)

Ultraviolet radiation induced flux of nitrogen oxides from pine needles
In the latest edition of Nature (March 13th, 2003) a group of scientist led by professor Pertti Hari from the University of Helsinki presents a novel observation: ultraviolet radiation induced a flux of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from pine needles to the atmosphere. This result is interesting because nitrogen oxides participate in several essential... view more... (2003-03-14)
