“…More often, they follow medicine far afield, from the climatology data that appeared regularly in 1812, to concerns about degeneracy and race suicide in 1912 (1912b), and exposés on the health effects of environmental hazards (1966a), nuclear war (1986), and global climate change (1989). Joseph Garland, who oversaw the Journal's expansion into an international forum, believed that journals and their editorials need not "necessarily be confined to topics related to medicine, so long as they are ones in which the reader has or might have an interest" (1952).…”

Exposure to ionizing radiation in a nonmilitary emergency is likely to alarm those persons exposed and their families. Not only is the outcome uncertain, but the risks are difficult to convey. This communication discusses uncertainties in short-term outcome and long-term effects, as well as means of conveying the magnitude of risks to patients and their families. It emphasizes that the perception of radiation hazards is contextual. It offers three ways of presenting the prognostic long-term risks of accidental radiation exposure by comparing them with the incidence of cancer and genetic abnormalities in unexposed persons, the hazards of everyday living, and the level of natural and medical exposures to ionizing radiation.
