Effects of radiation in man are reviewed, including induction of leukemia and cancer of skin, thyroid, bone, and lung; cataract; dermatitis, pneumonitis; nephritis; and sterility. The present levels of radiation from fallout in Canada contribute a negligible amount to the total radiation exposure of the population and do not now constitute a significant hazard. (H. H.D.)
