This Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) web site
provides information about radioactive fallout from nuclear
weapons tests conducted in the atmosphere around the world
(global weapons testing) during the 1940s and 1950s. CDC and the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) have studied whether it is possible
to estimate the health effects to Americans from this
global fallout. In the process, CDC and NCI were able to make
some estimates of how much fallout exposure people received,
what some of the possible effects might be, and how frequently
the effects might occur. |
