Vintage radioactive wrist watches - Is Radium really nasty?

[Thomas Radtke]

Hi jeben,

as long as one isn't concerned by cancer personally or in his or her family, probability calculations for events causing cancer are interesting. If you are, you just want to get rid of any dangerous agents, viruses or radiation sources ;-(.

Be careful and lots of luck,

Thomas

@Manolo, are you a radiobiologist? Thanks for your nice summary on ionizing radiation and quality factors. It's been a long time (late 90th) since I worked at the University Clinics of Essen in this field. Spent the most interesting years there :-).
