And it's not strictly true that you never benefit from exposure — being published in The New York Times helped get me an agent, who got me a book deal, which got me some dates.
A major study warning of CT risks to children, based on the Japanese exposure, was published in 2001; it predicted that of the 600,000 children under 15 who were having head and abdominal scans in the United States each year, 500 might ultimately die of cancer caused by the CT radiation.
The most recent FDA assessment of total dietary arsenic exposure was published in 1999 and reflected arsenic measurements from food taken between 1991 and 1996 (Tao and Bolger [1999]).
The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (Wechsler 1999) was also administered, and the relation with manganese exposure was published elsewhere (Bouchard et al. 2011).
Since 2001, when CDC guidelines for the clinical evaluation of patients with possible IA in the event of possible mass exposure were published in the MMWR (28 ), several alternative screening algorithms have been suggested including the Inova Fairfax protocol proposed by Mayer et al (29 ), and the 3-tier screening protocol from Hupert et al (30 ).
The most recent scientific document from the WHO on the risks of workplace heat exposures was published more than 40 years ago (27).
Many reports dealing with the identification of gene expression profiles in human cells following IR exposures were published so far, focusing on either high or low dose-rate X-ray or gamma-ray exposures, responses in tumor or normal cells; or, alternatively, comparing effects of IR with other genotoxic agents [ 2- 4].
A case in point is the "National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals" (the National Report), which is published periodically by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2005).
Mal Peet's Exposure, winner of this year's Guardian children's fiction prize, is published by Walker Books.
The definition of exposure science was published in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology by Dana Barr (2006): It studies human contact with chemical, physical or biological agents occurring in their environments, and advances knowledge of the mechanisms and dynamics of events either causing or preventing adverse health outcomes.
