From the publication:
INTRODUCTION There have been only three events in history of profound importance: The Creation, The Birth of Christ, and the Discovery of Nuclear Fission. (Adolph Ackerman, P.E.) This publication will be confined to the discussion of ionizing radiation, that is, the effect of natural (background) radiation, remaining from the formation of the earth, and of manmade radioactivity, which is new to this century and has been proliferating alarmingly in the last decade. We are just beginning to discover the health effects of the low and high frequency electromagnetic oscillations, which do not ionize (disintegrate) atoms. Sources of these oscillations include radar, computer terminals, TV, telephone transmission towers, microwave ovens and high voltage electric power lines. More especially the problems arising from man-made nuclear fission products demand attention because we are multiplying these most lethal substances daily without having found any way to dispose of them, or to store them with perfect containment against escape into the environment for the incredibly long periods of time that they are radioactive.
