Oil and gas wastewater as dust suppressant less than ideal

January 28, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

At the least, wastewater from oil and gas drilling should be treated in a waste treatment facility before it is used on dirt roads to suppress dust or deice roads. At the best, affordable, nontoxic dust suppressants should be developed and used, according to a multidisciplinary team of researchers. “Thirteen states in the United States […]

Low doses of radiation used in medical imaging lead to mutations in cell cultures

January 23, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Common medical imaging procedures use low doses of radiation that are believed to be safe. A new study, however, finds that in human cell cultures, these doses create breaks that allow extra bits of DNA to integrate into the chromosome. Roland Kanaar and Alex Zelensky of Erasmus University Medical Center and Oncode Institute and colleagues […]

Melanin’s ‘trick’ for maintaining radioprotection studied

December 22, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Sunbathers have long known that melanin in their skin cells provides protection from the damage caused by visible and ultraviolet light. More recent studies have shown that melanin, which is produced by multitudes of the planet’s life forms, also gives some species protection from ionizing radiation. In certain microbes, in particular some organisms from near […]

Could Vitamin D Save Us From Radiation?

November 5, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Radiological health expert Daniel Hayes, Ph.D., of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene suggests that a form of vitamin D could be one of our body’s main protections against damage from low levels of radiation. Writing in the International Journal of Low Radiation, Hayes explains that calcitriol, the active form of […]

Fracking associated with elevated radiation levels at nearby sites

October 27, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

The energy production process commonly known as fracking is associated with increased levels of airborne radioactive particles in areas downwind of fracking sites, according to new research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study collected data from 157 radiation-monitoring stations across the U.S. between 2001 and 2017, and analyzed the data […]

Radiation in parts of Marshall Islands is higher than Chernobyl

October 25, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Radiation levels in some regions of the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific, where the United States conducted nuclear tests during the Cold War, are far higher than in areas affected by the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters, according to new research from Columbia University. Three studies published July 15 in Proceedings of the National Academy […]

High-fiber diet, low level inflammation: Sidestepping the effects of radiation

October 2, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Loved or hated, the humble oat could be the new superfood for cancer patients as international research shows a diet rich in fibre could significantly reduce radiation-induced gut inflammation. Conducted by the University of Gothenburg, Lund University and the University of South Australia, the preclinical study found that dietary oat bran can offset chronic gastrointestinal […]

Obama White House Approved Radical Radiation Cleanup Rollback

January 31, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

The Obama White House gave final approval for dramatically raising permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil following “radiological incidents,” such as nuclear power-plant accidents and dirty bombs. The final version, slated for Federal Register publication is a win for the nuclear industry which seeks what its proponents call a “new normal” for radiation […]

Fukushima radioactive particle release was significant, says new research

January 5, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Scientists say there was a significant release of radioactive particles during the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident. The researchers identified the contamination using a new method and say if the particles are inhaled they could pose long-term health risks to humans. The new method allows scientists to quickly count the number of caesium-rich micro-particles in Fukushima soils […]

Hot particles in Japan: what does this mean for the Olympics and beyond?

November 28, 2019 by Captain Organic Planet

Hundreds of thousands of people – athletes and spectators – will flood into Japan for the 2020 Olympics. But exposure dangers from the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe have not ended since the meltdowns and explosions spread radioactive contamination over large areas reaching down to Tokyo and beyond.  Soon after the start of the meltdowns, experts began […]
