Many downwinders and health care providers are interested in readings beyond HHIN publications and Articles Available from the Network that are related to the radioactive materials released from Hanford and possible health effects from those releases. Selected Bibliography is a list of books and articles that are not available from HHIN, but may be found at your local library. If you wish to read publications produced by HEDR (Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction Project), such as the piece by W. T. Farris, et al, in the section "Radioactive Materials Released from Hanford.
The Network has compiled this list to help you select further reading material. This list intentionally includes a range of sources and opinions. A guiding principle of the Network is that our educational materials will provide a wide variety of sources and points of view. The Network respects the right of each individual to make personal decisions with the most complete information currently available. It is not the role of the Network to endorse the viewpoints presented in these books or articles, but to make the information available so you can form your own opinions.
