lol its not the same type of radiation brah

one type gives you cancer... the other type gives you cancer... same same but different

[Cassbo]

I have nothing to back my logic... but I wouldn't imagine the radiation absorbtion of aluminium, steel and glass would be that high...

Personally I think one would have more risk of radiation poisoning from living in a brick house!

Wow... Are you two going to stop eating all foods and drinking all drinks that come from within a certain radius of the plant too??

+1 to this, honestly you probably are already exposed to a decent amount of radiation on a daily basis. Here's a list from what I remember from physics;

The sun

The earth itself

Potassium (You'd be suprised at how much potassium there is in foods)

X-rays

TVs

Certain watches

Smoke detectors

Computers

Atmospheric Nuke testing (you can thank the French for this one )

The likelihood of your car being irradiated is next to none, and even still, the likelihood of you getting sick from said irradiated car is 3/5 of not very much.

Case in point - I wouldnt be too concerned since the chaces are 1:11ty

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

minor dosages of radiation are harmless

i think

[R31Nismoid]

Well you've clearly had larger doses given your mental state

or the fact you will be ...

forever alone

one type gives you cancer... the other type gives you cancer... same same but different

Getting up in the morning gives you cancer.

fk, just breathing gives you cancer these days too.

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

forever alone

Atmospheric Nuke testing (you can thank the French for this one )

the french only performed 50 atmospheric tests, as opposed to the US's 331 and a similar number from the ol USSR

also the 9 test's in south Australia performed by Britain would probably be a bigger worry for us

[KnT47r]

Forgot about the SA ones!!

The French did many off the coast of New Calidonia some years back, we got some fallout there too

[Dostalgia]

well if you are interested to buy one... its 165.

lol imagine "buzzing" everyone and anyone

and then going

:nuke: :nuke:

ZOMG ALIENS!!!!!

:nuke: :nuke:

[WYTSKY]

Lol imagine how much shit you would stir in the full body suit and one of those walking into a building and screaming omg everyone out now....

[R31Nismoid]

LOL... I'm getting ideas already...

[xALmoN]

try not to get arrested k?

[adznight]

nice paranoia..

if there was enough resident radiation to hurt you on a car after such a long period..workers would be kicking it left right and center.

Agreed. Muppet..

lol its not the same type of radiation brah

Both Ionizing Radiation (think uranium) and Non-Ionizing (radio waves) at the most basic form are just energised particles or energy or waves travelling through a medium or space. Both "can" cause cancer brah.

[MattR]

its all over rated with people going into panic mode. i work with radiation both in rocks and with the equipment to measure rocks and deep earth substances and would have no hesitation in buying a car from that area. Small doses of radiation have been thought to be benificial and give you a stronger immune system and fight off cancers that might form in the future.
