They know what happens to atv- given pretty good wallops of radiation, or big doses of stron- tium-90 or radioactive iodine. They "jknow, for example, that strontium goes to bones, and can produce bone cancer in animals.

Little is known about the long- term effects of low amounts of external radiation, he adds, ice here will receive total dosages of five to 50 roentgens. That is about as low an amount as it is practical to give and still hope to see any measurable results among hundreds of mice. It is already known that dosage given at a low rate generally has no more than one-quarter to one-third the effect on mice as the same amount given rather Dr. Upton adds. But little infer- rapidly.

Still, that gives them cause for caution about what the far more tiny doses from fallout might do to humans over the years. But the scientist's phrase of "might is sometimes taken ny amount will be hazardous. Federal radiation experts have established what they believe are sound safety limits regarding special-threat fallout atoms These arc the maximum amounts of radioactive strontium, iodine, or cesium which they believe a person could take in or be exposed to daily and still not be harmed. Fallout in the air. in milk or food, rarely ha.s exceeded these limits, and then only for brief periods Rut they cannot offer absolute proof of no bodily harm from test fallout.

Full knowledge about such radiation is lacking.
