When we were living in London during the Chernobyl disaster, I loaded up on milk powder [4 children] right away as it was obvious to me that all crops would be getting a layer of radioactive nuclides as rain nucleated onto radioactive dust. I recall walking home from the train one day and thinking that the lightly falling rain falling on my head must be radioactive. Sure enough, in a few days the government stared admitting that the cloud was over UK and started introducing controls. NZ milk, coming from "Nuclear Free New Zealand" should be getting a premium price in China and Japan now; to avoid melamine in baby food in China and radioactive elements in Japan. The fact that 4 of our family of six have had cancer, I put down to bad luck and too much sun 40 years ago in the case of the parents rather than Chernobyl. For the 21 year old with non-Hodgkins lymphoma I blamed [and warned beforehand about] bleaching and dying chemistry being applied to hair and scalp - "You'll get tumours in your neck"... perfect prediction, unfortunately, though I have no idea that was actually the cause. Our blood is still unacceptable to blood transfusion authorities because of the risk of mad cow disease aka bovine spongiforme encephalopathy. Maybe that's the cause of my failing brain though it seems more likely to be age-related degeneration. The neurologist thought so anyway. There were more carcinogens floating around in the air in London from incompletely burned diesel fuel than from Chernobyl. Nostrils, eyes, clothes and lungs were full of the stuff after a day in central London. 1 nitro pyrene in diesel particulates is a carcinogen killing people regularly. Life's a giggle. Mqurice
